Wherever there is opportunity, there is risk. That's one of the themes to emerge from a recent Swiss Re study titled "Tech-tonic shifts: How AI could change industry risk landscapes." The May 2024 report looked at the threats that artificial intelligence pose to specific industries as well as the larger insurance implications of those risks. "Providing AI risk solutions is a significant opportunity for the industry," the report says. "It is also a potential vulnerability, particularly when AI risks accumulate unseen within insurers' portfolios." The study measures each industry's AI risk by looking at six specific threats that emerge from the use of AI:

- Intellectual property risks;
- Lack of ethics, accountability and transparency risks;
- Algorithmic and performance risks;
- Cyber incidents; and
- Bias or fairness risks.
