Industry Coalition Calls for Withdrawal of AI Liability Directive to Avoid Further Legal Uncertainty and Support Europe's Competitiveness
Dods
The undersigned industry associations, representing companies of all sizes developing and using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in different sectors, urge EU policymakers to support the withdrawal of the AI Liability Directive (AILD) proposal. The AILD would add unnecessary legal complexity and uncertainty to an already intricate and novel legal framework impacting AI in Europe. In addition, its added value is, at best, unclear, given the existing legal frameworks on liability and consumer protection. (1) If passed, the proposal would harm EU competitiveness by increasing the regulatory burden, impacting costs and disincentivizing investments in AI innovation. Withdrawing this proposal would be in line with the EU's regulatory simplification and better regulation agenda, support the development and roll-out of innovative products and services, and contribute to achieving the EU's competitiveness objectives.
