CSIS reports state regulators approved more than 80% of carrier requests to exclude AI damages

Gregory C. Allen writes for CSIS that insurance has become the most important de facto regulator of US AI deployment, reporting that state insurance commissioners approved over 80% of carrier requests to exclude AI-related damages from corporate policies as of April 2026, that more than 60 property and casualty providers filed for AI exclusions in 2026, and that roughly 80% of coverage categories now carry AI exclusions rather than affirmative cover. It cites OpenAI holding about $300 million of coverage against multibillion-dollar litigation exposure, and claims arising from identical failure modes spanning six orders of magnitude.

CSIS puts the Iranian campaign against US water systems at about 100 facilities and locates 55 of them

CSIS reports at least 12 states targeted, nine of them publicly confirmed, and at least 100 facilities attacked, of which its researchers identified the locations of 55 through open-source research; more than 30 Minnesota water systems were attacked in late July. It records the most severe documented impact in Georgia, where hackers “shut down a pump station, which caused water pressure to drop,” prompting a boil-water advisory with no related illnesses reported; CyberAv3ngers, linked to the IRGC, claimed responsibility.
