The growing importance of new digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), over the past almost 40 years has considerably changed the way products are manufactured and distributed, so much so that a comprehensive revision of the legislation governing strict liability for defective products has become necessary.
Generative AI, most notably in the form of chatbots based on large language models (LLM), such as ChatGPT, Bard or Luminous, has the potential to completely transform the way organizations work.
By reaching agreement on the European AI Regulation ("EU AI Act"), the European Union has successfully played a leading role in shaping how the world deals with artificial intelligence (AI).
The proposed Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council adapting the rules on non-contractual civil liability to artificial intelligence (proposed AI Liability Directive) is another initiative to further restrict the use and development of AI systems.
The EU AI Act, proposed by the European Commission in 2021, aims to create a single legal framework for AI systems in the EU. This framework is intended to categorise and regulate AI systems according to the risks they pose.
The EU is continuously working on the development of a future AI regulation. The EU Council has now adopted its common position after the European Commission presented its initial draft for an AI regulation.
