PwC Bermuda summit in Hamilton: re/insurance CEOs weigh AI and data-centre systemic risk
Bermuda's re/insurers are framing AI concentration and data-centre exposure as a portfolio-level risk, which will feed into underwriting appetite, accumulation modelling and capital discussions. Carriers with heavy exposure to the same AI suppliers and infrastructure on both sides of the balance sheet are most exposed to correlated losses. Watch for this language to appear in risk appetite statements and in dialogue with the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
What Happened
PwC Bermuda's 19th annual re/insurance summit drew more than 400 attendees to the Hamilton Princess on 10 November 2026. CEOs discussed the scale of AI and data-centre risk, citing a PwC report projecting US$31.6 trillion of capital expenditure through 2050 on AI compute. They also discussed how widespread AI use creates systemic risk that could affect a re/insurer's entire portfolio.
Why It Matters
Bermuda's re/insurers are framing AI concentration and data-centre exposure as a portfolio-level risk, which will feed into underwriting appetite, accumulation modelling and capital discussions. Carriers with heavy exposure to the same AI suppliers and infrastructure on both sides of the balance sheet are most exposed to correlated losses. Watch for this language to appear in risk appetite statements and in dialogue with the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
The Bermuda Angle
Held at the Hamilton Princess with Bermuda re/insurance leaders, the discussion addresses AI risk for the Bermuda market. Bermuda carriers should test whether their accumulation and aggregation models capture shared dependence on AI suppliers and data-centre infrastructure.
