Liability rules for Artificial Intelligence – The Artificial Intelligence Liability Directive (AILD)
European Commission
Official summary
In a Europe fit for the Digital Decade, victims should enjoy the same level of protection for damage caused by AI as by other technologies. Businesses should know their risks, get insured and prevent risks whenever possible. The AI Liability Directive proposal makes this possible by adapting civil liability rules to the challenges posed by the AI technology. The proposed directive will apply where AI-enabled products and services cause damage because AI providers, developers or users did something wrong. The proposed directive gives victims access to information about AI systems and introduces rebuttable presumptions to alleviate the victim’s burden of proof.
