AI Is Too Risky to Insure, Say People Whose Job Is Insuring Risk
Major U.S. insurers including AIG, Great American and WR Berkley have petitioned regulators to carve AI‑related liabilities out of corporate insurance policies, citing the technology’s opaque "black‑box" nature. Recent high‑profile incidents—Google’s AI generating a false $110 million lawsuit claim, Air Canada’s chatbot‑driven discount error, and a deep‑fake fraud that stole $25 million from Arup—highlight the potential for massive, systemic losses. Insurers warn they can absorb a single $400 million claim but lack capacity to cover thousands of simultaneous AI‑driven payouts, prompting a reevaluation of coverage limits.
