How we built this

We started with public reporting on AI exclusions in commercial insurance, then moved to the state filing portals themselves, which is slower but far more complete. Every state's insurance-filing search was checked for products or forms with “AI” or “Generative” in the name, and Florida, the one state that searches by form number, was checked for every AI-related form number found elsewhere.

A name search only finds a filing whose product or form is named for AI, and most insurers file under an ordinary name, so we went further: in sixteen states we opened every commercial liability, package and medical-malpractice filing since June 2025 one at a time and read its forms. That is the only way to find an exclusion filed under a name like “General Liability” or “Businessowners.”

Every match was checked by hand. Common false positives were the letters “AI” standing for “Additional Insured” in a form number or file name, and a handful of unrelated forms whose titles happened to contain “AI” (an autonomous-vehicle amendment, an electrical-generating-equipment form, a cyber amendatory form). We kept filings that add AI cover, marked them separately and never counted them as exclusions.

The sixteen deep-read states are complete for the lines above. The other states were checked by name only, so a carrier that filed under a generic name in one of them and nowhere else is missing from the list. A few carriers with widely reported general-liability exclusions (Travelers, Chubb, Berkshire Hathaway) have no matching state filing yet. We list them as reported only and do not count them.

A second reviewer checked a sample of the read filings directly against the portal record; every tracking number, status and date matched.
