Summary
Major insurance companies are withdrawing or limiting coverage for AI-related mistakes and damages because they cannot understand how AI systems reach their conclusions, a problem called lack of explainability (the inability to see the reasoning behind an AI's output). Some insurers are declining to cover AI errors entirely, while others are significantly raising prices, creating a situation where companies using AI may struggle to find affordable insurance for AI-related risks.
