European Union liability rules for artificial intelligence

One of the objectives of the 2020 white paper was to formulate a proposal for an AI liability directive. The purpose of this proposal is to "to contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market by harmonising certain national non-contractual fault-based liability rules, so as to ensure that persons claiming compensation for damage caused to them by an AI system enjoy a level of protection equivalent to that enjoyed by persons claiming compensation for damage caused without the involvement of an AI system."
