AI liability becomes more pressing as insurers and companies rethink coverage
Chubb's CEO says insurers must address emerging AI liability risks, and trade materials advise companies to review their policies. Terms for liability insurance covering AI agents are still taking shape, and the underwriting resembles that of early cyber insurance.
Who is affected and how
- insurer
- Pricing and exclusions for AI liability products can draw on cyber insurance experience and on questionnaires about third-party tools.
- chief financial officer
- A company using AI needs to assess which AI-caused losses its current cyber, liability and professional cover would pay for.
