|---|---|---|---|
| AIUC hypothesized that risk would eventually constrain adoption. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| The speaker believed the scaling-laws argument would help capital recognize that investing more could yield more in return. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| The speaker expected increased investment in AI to trigger a hype cycle and create a perception that AI investments would produce predictable returns. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |

| AI models are expected to present national-security risks. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |

| People who work extensively with models anticipate some emerging AI risks that seem speculative today. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| AI models could help adversaries produce biological weapons at extremely low cost and with broad accessibility. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |

| The AI insurance market will take over some existing insurance markets, including auto insurance. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| Auto insurance will probably change substantially in a scenario where there are no human drivers. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| AIUC could insure risks that incumbent insurers are too slow to underwrite or struggle to evaluate, when AIUC has high confidence that those risks need coverage. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| A large bank may reject a vendor that cannot provide assurances the bank can pass on to its customers. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| AIUC’s roadmap will address agents first, then models, and then robotics. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| Robot developers will need to provide assurances about their products and may struggle to provide them. In a cluster of 3 → | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| A robot causing a toddler to fall from a kitchen table would trigger intense public reaction and strict liability. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
| Advancing technology and longer agent horizons will produce new failure modes that are not covered by the current standard, which currently covers existing agents well. | no date given | 16 Sept 2026 | pending |
