Does Verisk CG 40 47 apply to my CGL policy?

Last verified: March 24, 2026

Answer

It applies only if your insurer has attached the CG 40 47 endorsement to your commercial general liability policy. The endorsement is optional for carriers, so its presence varies by insurer and state filing. To confirm, check the endorsement schedule on your declarations page for form number CG 40 47, or ask your broker to review your policy.

If your CGL insurer has adopted the Verisk CG 40 47 endorsement, it excludes all AI-related claims from your general liability coverage. Check your policy declarations page for this endorsement number.

Scope

General business and insurance-risk analysis, not legal advice. Whether the endorsement is present does not alter your underlying legal liability for AI-related harm; it determines whether your specific CGL policy still responds to AI-related claims. If present, the exclusion removes generative-AI-related bodily injury, property damage, and personal/advertising injury coverage, and its presence is confirmed by the form number CG 40 47 appearing in your endorsement schedule or declarations. Verisk has filed the form nationwide, but adoption by your individual carrier and state determines whether it reaches your policy. Confirm specifics with your broker.

Operational implication

You cannot assume coverage either way without reading the policy. Until the declarations page is checked, treat AI-related general liability exposure as unconfirmed rather than covered or excluded.
