Insurance Coverage Issues for Emerging Technology Risks

How do businesses insure and find insurance coverage for risks arising from new technology? It is a particular challenge to answer this question where a policyholder has only a passing understanding of or lacks any familiarity with the technology at issue. This program examines insurance coverage for new and emerging technology both from a front-end risk management and finance standpoint as well as from a post-loss claims and litigation perspective. In particular, the course will examine coverage for drones, blockchain technology and artificial and augmented intelligence applications.

Learning Objectives:

1. Plan for and identify new and emerging technology risks in a corporate insurance program
2. Discuss typical first and third party insurance policies to identify how they might apply in hypothetical use cases involving drones, blockchain technology, and artificial/augmented intelligence
3. Review of insurance cases that have grappled with coverage for emerging technology risks in the past
