European Commission 28 September 2022, Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on adapting non-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence (AI Liability Directive)

Also known as

The proposal for the AI Liability Directive aims to adapt non-contractual civil liability rules to address the unique challenges posed by artificial intelligence, ensuring victims of AI-related damage receive equivalent protection as those harmed by traditional products. Key provisions include easing the burden of proof for victims and preventing legal fragmentation across Member States, which could hinder the development of AI technologies in the internal market. The directive is designed to foster trust in AI, promote cross-border trade, and support the EU's broader digital strategy while ensuring a consistent level of protection for all victims.AI
