Sometimes. Cyber policies rarely name AI, so an AI-related loss is covered only if it fits a covered event, like a breach or outage, and dodges the exclusions. Sometimes. Cyber policies don't usually mention AI, so an AI-related loss is covered only when it fits an event the policy already covers, such as a data breach or system outage, and no exclusion applies. If the problem is an error in an AI service you sell to clients, that's more likely a tech E&O question. Read the definitions of computer system, security event, protected information and technology services. Then check the exclusions for intellectual-property claims, contractual guarantees and voluntary disclosure of data. Ask your insurer two things: whether your AI provider counts as a covered vendor, and whether building or deploying AI for clients falls under E&O terms. Describe your real AI use and data flows on the application. A wrong answer there can hurt you at claim time. ## More Questions About Cyber Insurance - [Does Cyber Insurance Cover Third-Party Vendors?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/cyber/does-cyber-insurance-cover-third-party-vendors) - [Does Cyber Insurance Cover Data Breaches?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/cyber/does-cyber-insurance-cover-data-breaches) - [Cyber Insurance vs. Tech E&O: What’s the Difference?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/cyber/cyber-insurance-vs-tech-eo) - [Does Cyber Insurance Cover Ransomware?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/cyber/does-cyber-insurance-cover-ransomware) ## Coverage Guides Related to Cyber Insurance - [Cyber liability](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/cyber) - [Technology errors and omissions (E&O)](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/technology-errors-omissions) ## Sources for This Answer 1.
