Objective
This online seminar will discuss liability for
products and artificial intelligence (AI) in the light of the
forthcoming AI Act, the proposed AI Liability Directive (AILD) and the
revision of the Product Liability Directive (PLD).
These highly controversial proposals, which aim to adapt
liability rules to the digital age, have far reaching implications for
the product liability regime at both national and European levels.
This seminar will bring together experts from the European and national
legislators, stakeholders and academics to discuss the impact and the
best way forward regarding these closely related proposals.
