AI in insurance, checked dailyMonday 28 September 2026
News and findings on AI in insurance. Every item with its source, its evidence and what it means for a book of business.For agencies, MGAs and carriers

What happened

A RAND Corporation study on AI's insurability names the carrier's exclusion language, which reaches any actual or alleged use, deployment or development of AI.

RAND Corporation's report The Insurability of Artificial Intelligence catalogs AI-related harms, including incorrect outputs, deepfakes, privacy violations and discriminatory decisions, and describes how carriers are responding. The Register reports that W. R. Berkley has added exclusions to its directors and officers, errors and omissions, and fiduciary liability products, denying coverage for any actual or alleged use, deployment or development of artificial intelligence. Sample size not disclosed; RAND's report catalogs carrier responses rather than surveying a defined population.

What is verified

The source's own statement, as linked above. Nothing beyond it has been independently checked by us.

What remains unclear

This is not a regulatory requirement. RAND is a research organization, and the exclusion described belongs to one carrier's forms, not an industry standard. The policy language itself was not independently reviewed for this item.

What it means for your book

Agencies and MGAs placing management liability with W. R. Berkley should check the specimen form quoted on any account for this exclusion and identify what, if anything, still responds to an AI-related claim.

  • Pull the current specimen D&O, E&O or fiduciary form for W. R. Berkley accounts and check for AI exclusionary language.
  • Ask the carrier whether a buyback endorsement exists.
  • Flag accounts with active AI deployment for a coverage gap review before renewal.
