Responsibility and Ai

The course delves into the regulation of responsibility of artificial intelligence (AI) within the EU legal order in its first part and under European and comparative private law in the second one. Therefore, the course will focus first on the attempts to regulate the responsibility of AI at EU and Council of Europe level. It will then consider the responsibilities and liabilities of AI providers as well as the revision of the relevant rules (product liability directive as well as the proposals on adapting non-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence (AI Liability Directive). Risk management and insurance coverage of activities involving AI will be considered, especially applied to some sectors (i.e. smart mobility and medical activities).

After completing the course, students will have thorough knowledge of elements of advanced EU law and advanced comparative private law about the contractual and non contractual liabilities arising from the use of artificial intelligence. This will include the exam of EU, international and national relevant legislation and approaches. Students will have the capability to solve complex legal problems arising from the innovative field of liability arising from the use of AI, as well as the legal questions of the responsibility of AI itself.
