Description
This session intends to find out how a victim seeking compensation under national fault-based liability rules (eg, for harm not covered by any strict liability regime such as infringements of fundamental rights or claims against users of products rather than against the manufacturer) and the claim-related damages caused by an AI system, an AI Act, in particular, but not limited to the proposed European AI Liability Directive, could, on certain conditions, help claimants overcome the difficulties they might otherwise face because of the opacity of the AI system involved.
