Abstract

In today's evolving landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changing force with the potential to reshape various industries, economies and societal structures. As AI systems become increasingly integrated into sectors such as vehicles, healthcare diagnostics, predictive policing and financial algorithms, questions regarding liability have taken center stage. The existing legal framework consists of the Product Liability Directive – the PLD and of national liability rules on fault, strict or vicarious liability that can be applied to damage resulting from the use of emerging digital technologies such as AI. Certain aspects of AI, such as its opacity, unpredictability, and self and continuous learning, can pose challenges in implementing and enforcing existing laws.
This is one of the reasons that the EU is crafting new legislation that addresses the liability resulting from the use of AI. In September 2022, the European Commission published a proposal for a directive on adapting non-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence. The aim of the proposal is to complement and modernize the EU liability framework by introducing new rules specific to damages caused by AI as the Commission seeks to introduce a new liability regime aiming at ensuring greater legal certainty, thereby enhancing consumer trust in AI and ensuring successful innovations across the EU.
This contribution aims to provide an overview of the proposal of the AI liability directive regarding the adaptation of non-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence. The overview will include the background of the proposal, the objectives of the directive and the key provisions of the directive as well as the challenges of the implementation.
