 **The Hidden D&O and EPL Risk in AI** 

AI tools like conversational chatbots, predictive analytics, and hiring algorithms have escaped IT control. For CEOs and CFOs, this creates core governance, disclosure, and liability risks that threaten enterprise value, investor trust, and personal exposure. Surveys reveal that while 78% of companies already use AI in some form, most lack board oversight, policies, or training, leaving executives vulnerable to regulators, lawsuits, and the question boards now face: **"Can you prove you're managing AI effectively?"**

Regulators, lawyers, employees, and investors are scrutinizing AI claims, risk disclosures, and executive controls. This often triggers classic **D&O liability (directors & officers lawsuits)**, and **EPL  (employment practices liability) claims.**

**D&O Exposure:**  
**Directors & Officers claim examples from poor AI oversight:**

**EPL Exposure:**  
**Employment Practices Liability from AI in HR**

**Michigan-Specific Rules:**

**Key Board Questions:**

**Action Steps for Executives:**

**Bottom Line:**  
AI creates value with proper governance, but liability without it.

Start building oversight today, and make sure you have the right insurance advisor in your corner to review your D&O and EPL coverage for AI gaps. They’ll help you stay ahead of Michigan’s evolving rules and protect your leadership team from tomorrow’s claims. Contact us now to audit your program.
