About the author

Where AI risk shows up
Model output liability (hallucination, defamation, IP infringement). Training data provenance + IP indemnification. Bias / disparate-impact claims. Customer indemnification obligations.
Coverage notes
Tech E&O is the primary policy responding to model output disputes. Cyber covers data breach, but most AI-specific risk lives in Tech E&O. Some carriers now offer dedicated AI endorsements; others exclude AI risk explicitly.
Are there AI-specific exclusions on standard Tech E&O?
Increasingly, yes. We always read the policy form before binding for AI clients to confirm AI/ML output is covered, not excluded.
