“As there is more drone warfare, more artificial intelligence in
the decision making, we’re going to have to completely reimagine
how we cover [war]”

Business presenter Felicity Hannah speaks to Patrick Tiernan, who
runs the 337-year-old insurance marketplace, Lloyds of London.

He says that autonomous weapons and AI-driven decision-making
could change how conflict risk is calculated and insured, because
traditional assumptions about how wars escalate may no longer
hold. He says the current risk environment is unlike anything in
his company’s long history, and that a major state-backed
cyber-attack remains one of their realistic disaster scenarios.
