Wood Smith Henning & Berman is delighted to share that Partner Kevin Fitzpatrick will present at the 2026 CLM Annual Conference, held March 25-27 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida. He will serve as a panelist on Friday, March 27th from 10:00 a.m. in a session titled, "AI Liability on Trial: Lessons from Emerging Cases and Evolving Exposure."
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future tense concern for insurers and litigators. It is a present and rapidly expanding liability exposure, with major cases, such as Raine v. Open AI, illustrating the profound legal, ethical, regulatory, and insurance implications that arise when AI systems contribute to real-world harm.
This session brings together experts across law, insurance, and technology to analyze how courts and regulators are beginning to frame AI-related responsibility.
Panelists include Kim Moody, Head of Claims for Golden Bear Insurance Company; Anna Conger, Growth for Kyber; and Henry Su, General Counsel for Golden Bear Insurance Company.
Panelists will explore a range of developing theories of liability including:
- Tort-based exposure for allegedly harmful outputs.
- Product design and guardrail failures.
- Duties surrounding training data, model deployment, and supervision.
- Regulatory accountability as federal and state frameworks evolve.
"AI is reshaping the liability landscape in ways that are both unprecedented and unavoidable," said Fitzpatrick. "Claims and coverage professionals need a clear understanding of where these risks are heading, how courts are responding, and what strategic adjustments are necessary as the technology and the litigation accelerate."
Attendees will gain practical insight into evaluating and managing AI-related exposure, assessing coverage implications, and preparing organizational frameworks capable of responding to this fast-moving area of risk.
