Indemnity for AI Agent Execution

AI Agent liability insurance is professional liability coverage for AI Agents that execute transactions and actions on behalf of organizations. RiskHelm's AI Agent Liability Insurance covers financial losses when AI Agents commit execution errors beyond their human-defined Authority Limits, protecting against Execution Error from AI Agents.

AI Agent liability coverage includes: unauthorized AI spending and transactions, execution errors where AI Agents violate business rules, transaction deviation risk from AI-initiated actions exceeding delegated authority, and Execution Error from AI behavior that breaches human-defined boundaries. Coverage is for AI Agents registered in authorization systems.

Organizations deploying AI Agents need AI Agent liability insurance, including: enterprises scaling digital workforces, companies using AI Agents for transaction execution, workflow platforms integrating LLM agents (like Zapier, n8n, LangChain), and businesses automating spending or business actions through Agentic AI.

AI Agent insurance covers Execution Error when AI Agents commit execution errors beyond Authority Limits, focusing on unauthorized executions and transaction deviations by AI Agents. Cyber insurance covers infrastructure failures, data breaches, and hacking. RiskHelm's AI Agent Liability Insurance specifically addresses AI Agent behavior and execution risk, not cybersecurity or infrastructure issues.

No. RiskHelm AI Agent Liability Insurance is first-party indemnity coverage for the policyholder's own direct financial losses only. It does NOT cover third-party liability claims, lawsuits from external parties, or damages claimed by customers, vendors, or partners affected by AI Agent actions. This is coverage for your own losses from AI Agent execution errors, not liability to others.

Authority Limits are human-defined constraints on AI Agent behavior including spending caps, transaction limits, permissible actions, prohibited operations, business logic rules, compliance boundaries, and scope of delegated decision-making authority. RiskHelm's coverage triggers when AI Agents breach these Authority Limits.

No. AI Agent liability insurance does NOT cover model hallucinations or errors from the underlying LLM or generative AI model. RiskHelm's AI Agent Liability Insurance covers execution errors (unauthorized executions and transaction deviations), not model accuracy issues. We also do not cover AI vendor outages, infrastructure failures, or training data problems.

Execution Error for AI Agents is the risk that an AI Agent will execute unauthorized executions, exceed spending limits, violate business rules while remaining within technical permissions, or cause direct financial loss through unauthorized executions. This is the execution-layer risk that RiskHelm's AI Agent Liability Insurance specifically addresses.

Classic AI Agent execution error claims include transaction deviations and parameter errors. Transaction deviation examples: Quantity Error (Procurement AI authorized to buy 500 units orders 5,000 units instead, $45,000 claim for 4,500 excess units), Duplicate Payment (Payment AI pays vendor $50,000 twice instead of once, $50,000 claim), Volume Multiplier (Email AI authorized to buy 1 software license purchases 100 licenses instead, $99,000 claim for 100x intended quantity). Parameter error examples: Wrong Vendor (Procurement AI sends order to wrong vendor outside approved list, $30,000 unauthorized vendor transaction), Wrong Currency (Trading AI executes currency exchange with incorrect currency parameter EUR instead of GBP, $75,000 foreign exchange loss), Wrong Account (Payment AI routes $100,000 payment to wrong bank account, $100,000 claim), Wrong Amount (Invoice AI processes payment with wrong amount $500,000 instead of $50,000, $450,000 overpayment), Wrong Contract Term (Contract AI signs 5-year vendor agreement instead of authorized 1-year term, $400,000 in unauthorized multi-year obligations).

RiskHelm uses a five-stage framework: Registry (assign unique identity and human sponsor), Define (set rules-based access controls), Log (maintain continuous telemetry), Flag (detect execution errors), and Indemnify (reimburse for unauthorized executions). This creates verifiable audit trails for AI Agent behavior and compliance with Authority Limits.

No. RiskHelm only covers AI Agents formally registered in an organization's system. Shadow AI—unregistered AI Agents not formally documented—is explicitly excluded from coverage. All covered AI Agents must have unique identifiers and human sponsors.
