What Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on liability for defective products - Revision of Directive 85/374/EEC requires

The revised EU Product Liability Directive establishes strict liability for producers of defective products, including software and AI systems, where damage arises from a defect. It extends liability coverage to include data corruption and certain types of pure economic loss (Article 1), and introduces a rebuttable presumption of causation where AI system opacity prevents claimants from proving fault (Article 7).
