A report by RAND Corporation reveals that 84% of AI incidents involve misinformation and deepfakes, with 60% of lawsuits focusing on copyright issues related to AI training data.

Most incidents involve fake content, while lawsuits predominantly target intellectual property violations. The report emphasizes that existing insurance policies may not adequately address these emerging risks. The findings suggest a significant gap between AI adoption and the insurance market's ability to respond effectively.
