The next step is going to be around liability insurance for AI agents.

That's literally the point of liability insurance -- to allow the routine use of technologies that rarely (but catastrophically) fail, by ammortizing risk over time / population.




Potentially. I would be skeptical that businesses can do this to shield themselves from the liability. For example, VW could not use insurance to protect them from their emissions scandal. There are thresholds (fraud, etc.) that AI can breach, which I don't think insurance can legally protect you from


Not in the sense of protection, but in the sense of financial coverage.

Claims still made: liability insurance pays them.
