Insurance for AI & Emerging Tech Companies

Your company exists in a category insurance is still catching up to. We've been placing coverage for AI companies for years — across domestic and international markets.

Many tech E&O policies now contain AI exclusions broad enough to deny any claim involving machine learning, LLMs, or automated decision-making. Our AI reads every policy and surfaces these exclusions before they cost you.

We know exactly which carriers will engage with AI companies and how to frame the conversation. We prepare your team for underwriting calls so carriers understand how your technology works and why it deserves clean coverage that isn't gutted by AI exclusions.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

What insurance do AI companies need?

+

AI companies typically need D&O (protect founders and board), Tech E&O without AI exclusions (cover product failures), AI liability (cover model errors and discrimination claims), Cyber (data breach), and EPL. The specific structure depends on your use case and deployment context.

Why are AI exclusions a problem in E&O policies?

+

Many Tech E&O policies now contain broad AI exclusions that can deny any claim involving machine learning, LLMs, or automated decision-making. Founders often don't know these exclusions exist until they file a claim. Alton Risk audits every policy and negotiates to remove AI exclusions.

What's the difference between AI-specific and general tech insurance?

+

General Tech E&O was written before modern AI. AI-specific policies cover the unique risks of AI products: model hallucinations, training data IP claims, algorithmic bias, regulatory actions, and performance drift. They also avoid the AI exclusions embedded in most general tech policies.
