I approve of not being legally insured if you use AI as part of any process related to making, interpreting, or communicating your policies.
As an IBM training manual from 1978 put quite aptly:

A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
I’m curious what this means for business insurance across the board as generative AI is so pervasive, and lots of businesses of all sizes are using it, but will their insurance policies cover any incidents that happen as a result?
On a related note, if I subcontracted someone to perform a task, and there were defects, they would be contractually liable for that. However, if someone used ChatGPT to help with a task, they would have a tough time trying to take OpenAPI to court.
