AI Insight Series

Posted on October 28, 2026

In Part 3 of the Metz Lewis AI Insights Series, Barry Friedman of Metz Lewis and James Buldas of Henderson Brothers move from identifying AI-related insurance risks to addressing them. The insurance market is shifting from “silent AI” toward more explicit allocation of AI risk. Affirmative options are emerging, including AI endorsements to cyber, technology E&O and media policies, AI performance insurance, and standalone AI liability coverage. These products are still specialized and depend heavily on the use case. Barry and James outline seven practical steps businesses can take now:

  • auditing the entire insurance program
  • mapping AI use cases to coverage
  • working with brokers on exclusions and carve-backs
  • documenting AI governance
  • reviewing vendor indemnities
  • describing AI use accurately in applications and claim notices
  • revisiting coverage whenever an AI tool’s authority changes
