- Air Canada was forced to honor a discount its chatbot invented, illustrating how liability can land on companies deploying AI agents.
- A new report from the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company says frontier AI-agent liability is still largely unpriced and invisible.
- The report claims insurers have about 90% of their AI-agent exposure sitting in silent coverage, and are now adding exclusions that remove generative AI from general liability policies.
- The authors describe the result as a “market exit, with no clear path to re-entry.”
