The AI developer also says the market for AI-specific cover is still young and that it may be unable to buy some AI liability cover on reasonable terms, or at all. Morningstar DBRS said the filing highlights an AI insurance protection gap.

    EIOPA: scaling AI in insurance raises provider dependence and cyber risk

    In a Eurofi magazine article published on 16 September, EIOPA argues that wider use of AI in finance increases dependence on a few outside providers, market concentration and cyber risk. It cites a 2025 survey in which 65% of 347 insurers in 25 EEA countries already used generative AI, and says rigorous implementation of DORA and the AI Act matters more than new AI rules.

    Sapiens puts AI agents inside core insurance systems, with human sign-off

    Sapiens has launched SapiensAIP, a software-as-a-service platform that it says builds AI agents into core insurance systems for underwriting, policy, billing, claims and customer engagement. Its Migration Hub and Configuration Hub propose data mappings and system settings with confidence scores, which the insurer's own specialists review and approve. Texas-based administrator Continental General is evaluating both tools.
