Physical AI systems generate detailed logs. It is tempting to treat those logs as evidence for insurance — but they usually aren't.
Description Is Not Proof
A log describes what a system believes happened. Its trustworthiness depends entirely on the system that wrote it — and that system's records can be edited, lost, or disputed.
What Insurance Evidence Requires
- A verifiable identity bound to the physical asset
- Attributable authority for who operated the machine
- Tamper-resistant records with trusted time
- Evidence a third party can independently verify
Software can describe what happened. Embedded evidence can help prove it.
Closing the Gap
Embedded accountability (AEM) captures policy-defined critical evidence at the point of action, signs it, and anchors trusted time — turning descriptions into evidence that survives review.
