Firewalls, endpoint protection, employee training on phishing emails. You knew what you were defending and you generally knew what your insurance covered if you failed.

That model is already out of date.

Attackers have shifted targets. Instead of only breaking into your servers, they are going after the AI tools your business now runs on: the chatbot on your website, the AI agent your vendor plugged into your CRM, the automated workflow that reads your inbox and drafts responses. And the legal and insurance world has not caught up to the speed of that shift, which means a lot of business owners are exposed in ways they do not know about yet.

 Any business that will contribute to the production of driverless vehicles must give serious thought to the risk of products-liability lawsuits. And that includes suppliers, even of minor parts. We may think of driverless cars as a phenomenon of the future, but that future is closer than you think.

“Driverless car” is generally defined as a vehicle which, for most of a journey, will take charge of steering, accelerating, indicating, and braking. For the near future, the technology is intended only to assist the driver, not to replace him. It is expected that the driver will be able to take control of the “driverless” vehicle at any time.
