In Episode 6 of the D&O Diary Podcast Series, we sit down with Dan Holloway, Head of Global Management Liability & Professional Indemnity at Allianz Commercial, to discuss the results of a recent global survey examining industry perspectives on AI and its impact on D&O liability and insurance.

The survey, conducted jointly by The D&O Diary and Allianz Commercial, gathered responses from 250 insurance professionals across the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and 21 additional countries. Participants included insurers, brokers, and representatives of insured companies, providing a broad cross-section of views on the opportunities and risks presented by AI.

During our conversation, we discuss the survey’s key findings and what they reveal about market sentiment toward AI, including the growing consensus that AI presents both significant opportunities and meaningful governance challenges. We also examine how insurers are evaluating AI governance as part of the underwriting process, whether existing D&O insurance policy forms are adequate to address AI-related risks, and what AI may mean for the future direction of the D&O insurance marketplace.

While AI technology may be new, many of the risks associated with AI are fundamentally governance risks, making effective oversight, accountability, and risk management more important than ever.
