AI Has an Insurance Problem

from WSJ What’s News Hosted by The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for Oct. 16. A string of AI safety incidents is exposing a gaping hole for the fast-growing industry: the lack of available insurance. WSJ's Jean Eaglesham explains how AI’s ability to change the world also includes a wide-ranging capacity for harm that could leave companies that produce or use AI legally vulnerable. Plus, U.S.-Mexico trade talks hit a roadblock in Washington as WSJ’s Gavin Bade reports commerce secretary Howard Lutnick is refusing to cut tariffs on steel, aluminum and cars. And Tesla’s new Roadster takes flight, quite literally. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.
