insurers rely on the world being predictable in actuarial tables that allow them to ensure profiting from quantifiable risks. Non-deterministic AI is impossible to predict outcomes for. For an insurer, that is terrifying: they could potentially lose unlimited amounts of money. But I'm sure they're thrilled about genAI proliferation giving them sweeping new ways to exclude most business activities with a single discreet sentence, while maintaining the same premiums as before. In the next couple of years, AI adopters are going to find out their liability coverage has become utterly worthless because their activities are so contaminated by non-determinism which no one wants to cover.
