    Half-day workshop: Frontier risks and product innovation - AI & Robotics

    Uncover the hidden dangers of AI and robotic risks to develop insurance products for the future

    Intelligent Insurer presents an exclusive, inaugural workshop dedicated to unmasking the hidden perils of AI and robotics. Join the sector’s leading minds in charting the future of risk management and product innovation for intelligent machines.

    This workshop will be held alongside the ‘Agentic and generative AI for insurance’ conference, now in its third year.

    The rapid adoption of AI is reshaping the insurance risk landscape, creating potential exposures across multiple lines of business. These risks are not confined to science‑fiction scenarios of humanoid robots – any client leveraging AI to make decisions faces emerging and, in many cases, untested liabilities. From customer service chatbots to autonomous decision-making systems, the use of AI is expanding faster than traditional coverage frameworks can keep pace.

    From cyber vulnerabilities to liability disputes, system failures to unforeseen casualty events, the risk landscape is expanding faster than coverage frameworks can adapt. That raises urgent questions: What happens when AI gets it wrong? Who is accountable? And how can insurance step in to close the gaps?

    As AI systems become more independent and embedded in critical functions, new exposures reveal cyber vulnerabilities, cyber‑physical damage, operational failures, professional liability and even casualty events. 

    This raises critical questions: What happens when there’s an error? How will liability be allocated, and how should insurance respond to these “frontier risks”? Equally urgent is the need to prepare the broader market; how do insurers educate clients, guide regulators and raise awareness across the industry? 

    For insurers, the race is on – to identify AI-driven exposures and design strategies to address both current and future policies. Success will depend on building a deep understanding of AI’s intended and unintended effects and developing products that effectively mitigate the risks.

    In this workshop, we’ll explore these frontier risks – and the race now under way to understand, price and insure the greatest emerging challenge of our time.

    Workshop agenda

    Chair’s introduction:  

    Akash Bharadia, independent consultant and mentor, Lloyd’s Lab 

    Panel: the new frontier: mapping risks and exposures

    • Hear a rapid overview of unknown AI/robot exposures: cyber, mechanical, property damage, bodily injury, liability and silent coverage

    • Addressing the data challenge and market gap: A scarcity of loss data makes underwriting challenging – how can we bridge the data gap and manage new exposures?  

    • Who’s exposed – and where are today’s claims coming from?  

    • How to measure risk data in underwriting and post-binding to price effectively and manage the risk?  

    Spotlight session: the rise of autonomous robotics – what insurers need to know

    • Hear use cases from mining, agriculture, manufacturing and healthcare and understand how the insurance world will address the explosion of autonomous robots

    • The big liability question: find out why affirmative AI coverage is growing and what the future holds? Will warranties from robotic companies act as insurance policies?

    • Will insurers be willing to cover independent robotics outside a controlled environment? Or will a lack of technical knowledge prove an obstacle to coverage?  

    • What’s the worst that can happen? Discuss scenarios and responses from regulators and insurers  

    Panel: product liability and AI: crafting fit-for-purpose AI risk products

    • Tackle the liability issue: who is liable – the human, the programmer, the robot OEM or the company?

    • What do regulators (EU, AI Act, U.S. NIST, MoD) demand? And how will insurers navigate this?   

    • How are insurers adapting policies, exclusions and coverage? Discuss how existing policies (cyber, D&O, E&O, reps and warranties) need to change to account for the new risks from AI

    • What steps can insurers take to protect themselves – such as adding specific provisions and limitations, accounting for AI oversight and decision-making and determining liability? 

    • Debate the opportunity for the creation of new AI products to meet policyholders’ needs 

    Chair’s closing, followed by a networking drinks reception
