The Insurability Frontier of AI Risk: Mapping Threats to Affirmative Coverage, Silent Exposures, and Exclusions
The paper discusses the challenges of insuring risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI). It identifies various categories of AI-related threats and their implications for commercial insurance coverage. The authors propose a framework to understand the evolving landscape of AI risk and insurance.
- ▪The rapid diffusion of agentic AI has created new coverage problems for commercial insurance.
- ▪The study maps 55 AI threat classes against 26 insurance products and exclusion regimes.
- ▪Three patterns of AI insurability are identified, including affirmative coverage differentiation and silent-AI exposures.
