New threat: 2026

AI generated it.
That does not make it legal.Or safe to buy.

From January 2026, major insurers began adding AI exclusions to Professional Indemnity policies. AI generated copy that breaches advertising law is now an uninsured liability.

Berkley Insurance

Introduced an absolute AI exclusion on D&O, E&O and Fiduciary Liability policies, covering all AI use, not just generative.

EU AI Act, Aug 2026

Article 50(4) requires AI assisted marketing content to carry disclosure or documented human review. Non compliance triggers regulatory action.

RSA (UK)

RSA's UK Head of PI confirmed they are "assuming but not yet pricing" AI exposures, meaning exclusions are coming at next renewal.
