Session 3: AI as an Emerging Liability Risk
Aaron YipErnest Teng

This is an underwriter’s perspective on how we might look into the risks associated with the prevalence and fast adoption of AI in everyday business. Before getting into the terms of policy coverage, what are some of the pertinent risks that liability underwriters need to consider, and how can we break down these issues to navigate this new world? Ernest and Aaron will hold a conversation on how they might consider approaching this topic by asking questions around what do we mean by AI, what are the legal and regulatory developments and what are the moral and ethical issues we should consider.
