Risk Management (1/27/2026)
In a climate where tech optimism is high, understanding is low, and regulatory oversight lags behind innovation, companies constantly seem to be making bold proclamations about how “next-generational artificial intelligence” has transformed their business and will push them ahead of competitors. Unfortunately, claims that seem too good to be true often are. Indeed, many businesses are either being misleading or even lying about the extent of their AI use, as well as the true capabilities and benefits of such technology.

Risk & Insurance (1/26/2026)
Rapid expansion of data‑center capacity brings intertwined construction, power, supply‑chain, cyber, regulatory and environmental exposures.

Canadian Underwriter (1/26/2026)
Record‑setting accumulation caused widespread travel disruption and about 200 collisions, though reported volumes to insurers stayed steady. Experts expect delayed auto filings and possible later property issues such as roof stress, ice‑related seepage and frozen‑pipe damage as temperatures rise. Carrier Management (1/27/2026)

Risk is growing more complex, but without structured risk scoring and reporting, prioritization often comes down to judgment calls and inconsistent inputs. Origami Risk’s new guide shows how organizations are strengthening their programs by applying consistent scoring frameworks and clearer reporting. It walks through identifying high-priority risks, allocating resources more effectively, and moving from reactive responses to proactive planning, without overcomplicating the process. RIMS Webinar
