Summary
The European Commission's proposed AI Liability Directive (2022) establishes rules for civil liability claims related to AI system harms, introducing a rebuttable presumption of causality to ease the burden of proof for victims. It complements the EU AI Act by addressing how existing liability frameworks apply to AI-specific harms. The directive aims to ensure that victims of AI-caused damage have equivalent legal protection to victims of non-AI harms.
Key Points
- •Introduces a rebuttable presumption of causal link between an AI provider's fault and harm, reducing burden of proof for claimants
- •Requires AI providers and deployers to disclose documentation and evidence about high-risk AI systems in legal proceedings
- •Complements the EU AI Act by providing civil liability remedies where the AI Act establishes safety and transparency obligations
- •Applies to both EU and non-EU AI providers when their systems cause harm within the EU single market
- •Targets 'high-risk' AI systems as defined by the EU AI Act, with proportionate rules for lower-risk systems
