Managing Emerging AI Risk
Speaker: Katherine Henry, Partner & Chair of Policyholder Insurance Coverage Practice, Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP
Artificial intelligence is transforming the insurance landscape. Companies deploying AI face a rapidly shifting coverage environment: insurers are endorsing standard-form policies that silently cover covered AI-related losses to exclude AI-related losses, and new types of AI-specific claims—from algorithmic discrimination to AI-assisted professional errors—are testing the boundaries of traditional CGL, E&O, EPL, D&O, and cyber coverage. At the same time, insurers themselves are deploying AI in underwriting, pricing, and claims handling, raising novel questions for risk managers when algorithms replace human decision-making.
This session traces the emergence of AI risk through a lens that will be familiar to risk managers involved in the emergence of cyber risk and coverage: the same progression from silent coverage to coverage disputes to exclusions to dedicated products is playing out again, but with a twist due to insurers’ own reliance on AI. This session walks through the coverage disputes already underway, the exclusions arriving at renewal, coverage for AI risks under current policies and future AI specialty coverage, insurers’ use of AI and its impact on policyholders, and the steps risk managers can take now to protect their organizations.
Fostering Relationships to Strengthen Risk Management
Speaker: Mel Jones, Director of Inclusion, Hoffman Construction
Fostering relationships to strengthen risk management is a conversation and a workshop designed to highlight the importance of our construction industry and building relationships within. Developing greater pride in what the construction industry provides is the first step to psychological safety in the industry.
Understanding the construction community and the complexities helps seasoned and fresh members accept their ability to contribute. Recognizing that construction is a great industry, the people who choose this type of work are in themselves complex and driven by factors only they understand.
Working with this understanding has helped develop some basic tools to help the overall industry and most important the individuals find a safe place and a safe way of communicating in a strong and safe environment.
Understanding how to build relationships, what culture is and tools to help communicate creates an environment of community and caring, and when you care you speak up when a part of your community is at risk. This leads to a safer work environment for all to flourish and the #1 career in the world!
