As businesses increasingly adopt AI technologies, the implications for cyber insurance are significant. AI-related risks extend beyond cyber attacks, with potential losses arising from system errors or regulatory issues. Insurers are adapting by incorporating AI governance into policy assessments and developing new AI liability insurance products. The UK cyber insurance market is particularly focused on the dual threats posed by AI: its use by cybercriminals to enhance attacks and the risks from businesses' own AI systems. Insurers are now asking more detailed questions about clients' AI governance and maturity. The evolving regulatory landscape, including laws like the EU AI Act, adds further complexity to coverage. Companies must ensure their cyber protection keeps pace with AI integration to avoid coverage gaps.
