alt Hacker Newsthe agentic shift is where the legal and insurance worlds are really going to struggle. we know how to model human error, but modeling an autonomous loop that makes a chain of small decisions leading to a systemic failure is a whole different beast. the audit trail requirements for these factories are going to be a regulatory nightmare.
I think the insurance industry is will take a simpler route: humans will be held 100% responsible. Any decisions made by the ai will be the responsibility of the human instructing that ai. Always.
I think this will act as a brake on the agentic shift as a whole.
