# Position as a Liability Guarantor

## Action

If operating in a regulated industry — **finance, healthcare, law, insurance** — do not just sell AI efficiency. Position your business to **absorb regulatory and financial risk** for AI actions, selling accountability alongside the technology.

## Why

AI cannot be sued, jailed, or held financially accountable ([[claim-liability-cannot-be-automated]]). Someone must be on the hook. Companies that explicitly underwrite that liability — like [[entity-deloitte-d28|Deloitte]] with its AI assurance practice — capture durable value.

## Outcome

Create a highly defensible business model in regulated industries.
