AI has been around for a while but is now breaking into the consumer market. Cyber insurance companies are using AI to analyze submissions from potential customers, and self-attestation is falling out of favor. Companies need to have good network hygiene, use AI to analyze data and have a human analyst to fine-tune. Cyber insurance policies for small businesses may differ from those for larger companies. Privacy laws are becoming more important this year. We discuss the complexity of privacy laws in the US and the need for a U.S. Federal privacy law.
