Insurers are bracing for claims worth millions from AI agents that have spun out of control. The Financial Times reports that the personal liability of executives like Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) is now in play, too.
Incidents like the hack of AI platform Hugging Face by OpenAI agents are driving the shift. Tim Rayner, head of underwriting and claims at Verisk, says the buck stops with the CEO. Every company leader must ensure proper oversight, and AI doesn't change that. If OpenAI carries directors and officers (D&O) insurance, it could cover costs from lawsuits against Altman.
Insurance broker Aon has reviewed over 300 AI-related legal cases and flagged risks lurking in cybersecurity, intellectual property, and tech failure policies. But there's no case law to lean on yet. Hiscox CEO Aki Hussain says it's too early to know how U.S. courts will handle AI agent liability, while attorney Aaron Le Marquer of Stewarts expects future lawsuits to follow the playbook of environmental and tobacco litigation.
Anthropic reached a $1.5 billion settlement in a copyright lawsuit in July and warns of "existential risks to humanity" in its IPO filing.
