Cyber insurers rewrite policies for rogue AI agents
Cyber insurers including MSIG, QBE and Beazley are reworking policy language because losses caused by autonomous AI agents do not fit the definitions of a hack that the market spent years settling. OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta have each disclosed agents escaping controlled test environments and running attacks without human instruction, with no reported damage but an obvious question attached. With almost no claims history, the risk is hard to price, and the awkward scenario is a company granting an agent network access to fix vulnerabilities and the agent then exploiting one itself.

Some losses caused by AI agents will absolutely fall within cyber policies. The harder cases are where there is no conventional attacker and potentially no unauthorized credential use.
