AI liability: Insuring the economy's fastest-growing risk

This session opens with the first public reveal of The Spark's AI Liability Heat Map - mapping nearly 90 real-world AI incidents to insurance exposure - followed by a fast-paced discussion with senior leaders from Aon, QBE, Swiss Re and McDermott Will & Schulte: how insurance can underwrite, manage and ultimately prevent AI losses - and where the next claims will come from.
