What EU Revised Product Liability Directive 2024/2853 - Liability for AI-Caused Harm requires
EU Directive 2024/2853 on liability for defective products (the revised Product Liability Directive - rPLD), which entered into force on 9 December 2024 and must be transposed by Member States by 9 December 2026, significantly modernises the EU's product liability framework by explicitly covering software and AI systems as 'products' subject to strict liability - manufacturers and importers of AI systems are strictly liable for damage caused by defective AI systems without the injured person needing to prove fault; the Directive introduces a rebuttable presumption of defectiveness where the manufacturer fails to comply with EU AI Act mandatory safety requirements or fails to cooperate with disclosure obligations; it also introduces a rebuttable presumption of causation where technical complexity makes establishing the causal link excessively difficult for the claimant.
