[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/generative-ai-liability) # Founder Shield Generative AI Liability Insurance Founder Shield Generative AI Liability Insurance Founder Shield is a retail insurance brokerage, described on its site as “the innovation arm of The Baldwin Group,” and places Founder Shield Generative AI Liability Insurance with third-party carriers rather than underwriting the policy itself. [2](https://foundershield.com/about-us/ "About Us") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: About-us page; applies to Founder Shield's brokerage model generally, restated here for this line.) ## Issuing Insurer - Founder Shield says the policy is backed by capacity at Lloyd's of London rated A+ (Superior) by AM Best. It does not name the specific Lloyd's syndicate. [1](https://foundershield.com/coverage/generative-ai-liability-insurance/ "Generative AI Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Generative AI Liability Insurance product page; supersedes the general brokerage insurer claim for this line.) ## Who It’s For - Founder Shield built this policy for commercial U.S. companies with up to $10 billion in revenue that deploy or use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Claude in their operations, rather than companies that sell generative AI as a standalone product. [1](https://foundershield.com/coverage/generative-ai-liability-insurance/ "Generative AI Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Generative AI Liability Insurance product page.) ## Coverage Features - Founder Shield says the policy covers five sources of third-party liability from generative AI outputs: financial-loss errors (hallucinated outputs), IP infringement or defamation from AI-generated content, unauthorized disclosure of private data, bodily injury from reliance on an AI output, and property damage from an AI-driven decision. [1](https://foundershield.com/coverage/generative-ai-liability-insurance/ "Generative AI Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product page; the issued policy and declarations control actual coverage.) - Founder Shield says the policy is written on a claims-made-and-reported, excess & surplus (E&S) lines basis, with a duty to defend and defense costs that erode the limit. [1](https://foundershield.com/coverage/generative-ai-liability-insurance/ "Generative AI Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Generative AI Liability Insurance product page.) - Founder Shield cites a 140%-plus year-over-year rise in AI-related U.S. lawsuits and says ISO endorsements effective January 1, 2026 explicitly exclude generative-AI losses from standard commercial general liability policies, which it says is why it built a standalone product. [1](https://foundershield.com/coverage/generative-ai-liability-insurance/ "Generative AI Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Generative AI Liability Insurance product page; litigation and ISO statistics are company-reported and not independently verified here.) ## How to Apply - You request Founder Shield Generative AI Liability Insurance through Founder Shield's website or an insurance advisor rather than binding coverage directly; Founder Shield says its placement team then approaches carriers on the client's behalf. [2](https://foundershield.com/about-us/ "About Us") [3](https://foundershield.com/insurance-faqs/general-faqs/how-do-you-decide-which-carriers-to-approach/ "How Do You Decide Which Carriers to Approach?") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: About-us and carrier-selection pages describe the general placement process, not a line-specific application form.) ## Founder Shield Generative AI Liability Insurance Compared - [Founder Shield vs Armilla](https://spot.insure/compare/armilla-vs-foundershield/generative-ai-liability) - [Founder Shield vs Relm Insurance](https://spot.insure/compare/foundershield-vs-relm/generative-ai-liability) - [Founder Shield vs RiskCube](https://spot.insure/compare/foundershield-vs-riskcube/generative-ai-liability) ## Other Founder Shield Coverage Lines - [Founder Shield Cargo and Transit Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/cargo-transit) - [Founder Shield Commercial Property Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/commercial-property) - [Founder Shield Crime Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/crime) - [Founder Shield Cyber Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/cyber) - [Founder Shield D&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/directors-officers) - [Founder Shield Digital Asset Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/digital-assets) - [Founder Shield Employee Health Benefits](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/employee-health-benefits) - [Founder Shield Employment Practices Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/employment-practices) - [Founder Shield Fidelity Bonds](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/fidelity-bonds) - [Founder Shield Fiduciary Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/fiduciary) - [Founder Shield General Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/general-liability) - [Founder Shield Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/hired-non-owned-auto) - [Founder Shield Intellectual Property Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/intellectual-property) - [Founder Shield Key Person Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/key-person) - [Founder Shield Last-Mile Delivery Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/last-mile-delivery) - [Founder Shield Media Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/media) - [Founder Shield Product Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/product-liability) - [Founder Shield Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/professional-errors-omissions) - [Founder Shield Representations and Warranties Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/representations-warranties) - [Founder Shield Telehealth Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/virtual-care-telehealth) - [Founder Shield Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/umbrella-excess) - [Founder Shield Venture Capital Asset Protection Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/venture-capital-asset-protection) - [Founder Shield Workers’ Compensation Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/workers-compensation) ## Related - [Founder Shield Profile](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield) - [Founder Shield Reliability](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/reliability) - [Founder Shield Alternatives](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/foundershield/alternatives) - [Coverage Guide: Generative AI liability](https://spot.insure/coverage/generative-ai-liability) ## Sources 1.
