Comparative Law Study on Civil Liability for Artificial Intelligence
Files
Description
This study was commissioned to the authors by the Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers of the European Commission in spring 2020 and completed in November of that same year. The task given was to provide an overview of existing tort law regimes within the EU that would apply to liability for artificial intelligence (AI) at present, while leaving aside the national implementations of the Product Liability Directive. Instead of a comprehensive presentation of the laws of all Member States, only key aspects at the example of selected jurisdictions should be highlighted. Three use cases were agreed upon as examples. Furthermore, having regard to the pre-eminent position of the US in the field of AI technologies, information on the legal regimes in the US on AI was added, again limited to key aspects and selected states. The latter task was tackled by Mark Geistfeld in the second part of this study, whereas the first part on the comparison of tort laws in Europe was drafted by Ernst Karner and Bernhard A Koch.
