Market report · October 2026
AI governance and liability insurance in Germany and the EU.
Market structure, carrier appetite, competitors and entry barriers.
- Carriers
- No German carrier offers a dedicated AI-liability product, and standard liability wordings are largely silent on AI.
- Governance vendors
- European AI governance platforms produce documentation and evidence, but none attach insurance.
- Insurance entrants
- Insurance-backed AI assurance has started in the US and UK, without an EU entity or EU standards mapping.
- Standards
- EN 18286 gives carriers and companies a shared definition of governed AI for the first time.
Regulatory briefing · October 2026
The Product Liability Act 2026 and the AI Act Omnibus.
What changes on 9 December 2026 and which documentation to have ready.
- Scope
- Software and AI become products under strict liability, including updates and machine-learning behaviour after sale.
- Disclosure
- Courts can order a defendant to disclose relevant evidence, including technical documentation.
- Presumptions
- A defect can be presumed when evidence is withheld or the claimant faces excessive difficulty proving it.
- AI Act timing
- The Omnibus moves high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 (Annex III) and 2 August 2028 (Annex I).
- What to prepare
- An inventory, logs, evaluation records and incident history for every AI system you put on the market.
