Aon flags AI risk outpacing insurance cover for consulting and advisory work

Professional ServicesFinancial Services

Aon’s August 2026 note on AI in consulting warns that professional liability and cyber policies are not keeping pace with how firms actually deploy AI in client service. It stresses that misalignment between technology, legal, HR, and risk functions—plus weak governance over AI use—can leave gaps where neither traditional PI nor cyber cover clearly responds after an AI‑related incident.

Why it matters for leaders
As a CEO, you are personally accountable for the firm’s risk posture. If your firm is embedding AI into advice, models, or tools delivered to clients, you need clarity on where your existing policies stop and uncovered AI‑specific exposures begin. This is also a live topic for many of your clients, opening a joint advisory and risk‑review conversation.
Opportunity signal

Bundle AI governance diagnostics with insurance and contractual risk reviews, creating a distinctive cross‑disciplinary advisory offering that helps clients (and your own firm) align AI use with coverage, contracts, and controls.

Continuing to scale AI in client work without updating engagement terms, PI limits, and incident playbooks could leave the firm exposed if an AI‑driven error, bias, or confidentiality breach triggers litigation.
