AI is rapidly changing the way businesses operate, but as companies embrace increasingly autonomous AI systems, they’re also confronting a new and evolving set of risks. This episode of The Insuring Cyber Podcast looks at what happens when an AI agent doesn’t just generate information, but takes action on its own. Jeff Kulikowski, executive vice president and head of Cyber and E&O at Westfield Specialty Insurance, discusses the recent OpenAI incident in which AI models reportedly broke out of an isolated testing environment and accessed another AI platform. He shares what the event can teach insurers about the risks of agentic AI, how these incidents differ from traditional cyber attacks, and whether companies are moving fast enough on AI governance and guardrails. He also shares how underwriters are adapting the questions they ask about AI use, and the role insurers can play in helping clients manage these emerging risks. Check it out!

Rats, leaks, faulty A/C… and now an insurance coverage fight before Alabama’s highest court.

Thirty-two courthouse workers in Greene County, Alabama, sued county commissioners, alleging years of unsafe conditions left them sick or injured.
Now, the Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that a lower court must determine whether the county’s liability insurance fund has a duty to defend the commission, without waiting for the underlying lawsuit to be resolved.

The decision highlights an important distinction in insurance litigation: the duty to defend can be decided separately from whether an insurer ultimately has a duty to pay damages.

Earlier this year, Vertafore rolled out a series of AI-supported tools for agents, MGAs and carriers that automate manual work and allow them to focus on customers, says James Thom, the chief product officer at the insurance tech provider. On this podcast, James walks through the tools as well as broader observations on where the industry is headed. The AI tools allow users to “focus on more high-value work and take them out of the drudgery of data entry.” The tools focus on email management, commission reconciliation, commercial lines submission, and more. With all the “bright shiny objects out there right now,” tech leaders should “respect the workflow,” James says. “Insurance buyers don’t buy technology because it’s clever. They buy because it fits into their workflow. Don’t think about solving clever problems; think about solving actual problems.” He adds that AI offers “massive tailwinds for growth,” but people shouldn’t focus on the problems of the past. “Help people shift into the new roles you need. The personalized advice, human in the loop, the care our clients give to customers doesn’t go away.” James outlines an ideal vision for insurance: “The key feeling—if you put yourself in the customers’ shoes—working with insurance feels like a more proactive business. It feels very reactive today. In the future we take noise and friction out of the process and we shift our time. It’ll feel more connected, understandable and proactive. Things are faster. Less adversarial. As an industry, it’s less about manual work, and more on advice and service.”

A mentor suggested insurance to emerging talent Patience Noah — and lucky us, she went for it! You’ll sense the energy from this agency owner as she outlines a career starting in phone sales and then service and production roles. As a carrier field rep, she became curious about owning an agency. The principals “were mostly older, white and male and there were fewer women in the industry,” Patience says. “I thought, ‘Maybe there’s an opportunity for me to start an agency. I’m in my early 30s. I have no kids, no bills, no mortgage. What’s the worst thing that could happen?’” Soon thereafter, the pandemic arrived. Turned out to be a good thing for Patience, as the world slowed and she figured out how to run the firm. “Once things settled down I focused on the producing side of the business.” With her prior experience, she says, “I understood what carriers are looking at when they come into an agency.” Patience specializes in commercial lines, particularly nonprofits and healthcare-related clients. She realizes she faces stereotypes about her age. But she immerses herself into the policies. “I took an interest in really learning insurance contracts,” she says. “People mostly look at the price tag. Insurance is an art…a dying art. For me as an old soul, I thought, ‘How can I tap into the older generations with longevity in the business for 30, 40, 50 years where they are passing on to the next generation the value of learning about the policy?’ It’s not about the price.”

James Benham operates in a lot of areas: insurance thought leader, entrepreneur, technologist, TEDx speaker, author, podcaster and pilot. Naturally, he’s also a chatty fella—an engaging guest you’ll enjoy as he unpacks how he learned early to bootstrap, mowing lawns at age 12 to earn money because dad wasn’t opening up the wallet. That led him to an entrepreneurial world first in construction-related technology, and later in insuretech. Listen as he talks about leadership and core values. “Leadership is motivating ordinary people to do extraordinary things. The sum is greater than the individual parts. Management is managing individual people, tasks and projects to conclusion. The #1 rule of leadership is to feed your people’s emotional needs. Do you understand the vision of what we have, and the direction we’re headed? And do you understand the why?” James founded JBK, a global tech firm powering major carriers, and Terra, a cloud-native platform reimagining work comp. Insurance “is a harder business than people think. It doesn’t always make money!” he observes. He also points to “a self-reinforced internal myth,” that insurance is slow to adopt new technology. On the contrary, the industry was an early adopter of mainframes, software and databases.
