The Squeeze
Caught Between Two Moving Walls
Regulators and courts now require you to verify, supervise, and often disclose your AI use, creating a documented, discoverable trail of AI reliance. Your insurer, meanwhile, is moving from silence to exclusion, and the renewal question set ("Do you use AI? Do you police it?") is already standard. Neither wall is receding.
The duty is formal
ABA Formal Opinion 512, roughly 35 state bar analogs, and hundreds of court standing orders require lawyers to verify and often disclose AI use, with parallel obligations arriving for CPAs and advisers. Your AI use is on the record whether you put it there or not.
The coverage is disappearing
Standard-form generative-AI exclusions took effect January 2026. Professional-lines carriers have filed their own AI exclusions, and malpractice carriers offer no affirmative option. 1,725+ court decisions already involve unverified AI content.
