Which emerging insurance trend will hit our productions hardest?

Hey everyone,

I'm diving into some future-proofing for an upcoming large-scale commercial project, think multiple units, international locations, and a pretty complex post-production pipeline. We're looking at a 2025 release, so I'm trying to anticipate the landscape. I'm hearing more about AI risk assessments, blockchain COIs, and mandatory cyber liability riders becoming standard. I get the idea behind these, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the practical, day-to-day impact.

Specifically, when we're on set with an ALEXA Mini, streaming dailies, and coordinating a crew spread across different countries, which of these insurance trends do you think will actually change how we operate on the ground? Will an AI risk assessment mean stricter approval for certain VFX shots? Will blockchain COIs simplify things or add a new layer of complexity to vendor management? And what about cyber riders, will that affect our data wrangling protocols with footage coming off a V-RAPTOR XL?

I've been trying to map out potential new workflows, especially around data security and chain of custody, but it's all still a bit theoretical for me. I'm curious to hear from those who might have more insight or have already navigated early versions of these requirements. Which of these do you see having the most significant practical impact on day-to-day production?
