“We're best known for our insurance for technology companies. That includes all the usual policies and a new product for AI liability.”
Nico Laqua
“Just like a human might mess up, AI might mess up even worse, where it might say things that it shouldn't say, it might calculate things that shouldn't calculate, it might even cause outages or things like that. Corgy's policy explicitly covers damages that could result from these AI mistakes.”
