AI risks: what directors and officers need to know

All new technologies carry risks when introduced on an enterprise level. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no exception, and directors and officers may find themselves in the crosshairs should negative repercussions arise from the use of such tools. 

To be prepared for the potential regulatory scrutiny or claims activity that comes along with the introduction of a new technology, it is imperative that boards carefully consider the introduction of AI, and ensure sufficient risk mitigation measures are in place.

What insurance buyers need to know about Consequential Loss explained in three minutes

The purpose of Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is to provide indemnity to an insured for legal liability to a third party who suffers loss as a result of the provision of the defined and declared professional service. Under the insurance policy, the insured normally also receives indemnity for the costs of investigation and defence of claims.

Importantly, PI insurance can be tailored to the professional group covered. Typically, PI insurance may include optional extensions of cover for a range of matters, including indemnity for consequential loss for an additional premium.
