What it does

Products/completed-operations coverage responds after your product is out the door or your job is finished — the classic downstream claims. CG 35 08 removes that protection where generative AI is involved: a product with an AI feature, AI-generated instructions or documentation shipped with your work, AI-assisted designs that make it into the finished job.

“…bodily injury or property damage arising out of generative artificial intelligence”Applied to the products/completed operations hazard

What that can mean for a business like yours

How to spot it

Check the forms schedule and any separate products/completed-operations endorsement listing. Manufacturers, contractors, and anyone whose product embeds AI features should look for this one specifically.

An exclusion on a renewal is a negotiation point, not a verdict. Get your broker’s answers in writing:

1

Which exact form and edition is on my renewal — and can I have a copy of its text?

2

What in my operations does it apply to?

3

Can it be removed, narrowed, or bought back — and what would that cost?
