On 30 January 2025, the Committee on Legal Affairs will hold a public hearing on the Commission proposal for a Directive on adapting non-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence (AILD - 2022/303(COD)).

The public hearing would focus on the content of the Commission proposal, which aims to address very specific aspects on non-contractual liability of the Member States, which have not been subject to harmonisation at the Union level yet. The proposal aims to adapt civil non-contractual liability rules to new challenges posed by AI.

Speakers will address topics essential for understanding AI civil non-contractual liability, such as on existing national civil liability rules, burden of proof and its reversal in civil procedure, use of presumptions in civil procedure, debate on the additional impact assessment as requested by JURI, etc.
