The conference will address the extremely important and recently topical issue of legal liability for the actions of artificial intelligence (AI). This issue, although increasingly often raised in individual presentations by speakers at Polish and foreign conferences, is almost never the main subject of conference deliberations, or at most one of the many threads taken up. As a result, this prevents a comprehensive, wide-ranging discussion of the multitude of complications that may arise in this connection.
Recognizing the aforementioned gap, it was decided to organize this scientific endeavor. Additional inspiration came from legislative efforts to regulate the mentioned issue within the framework of European Union legislation. We are referring in particular to the so-called AI Act, the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Adaptation of Non-Contractual Civil Liability Legislation to Artificial Intelligence (AI Liability Directive) and the preceding European Parliament Resolution of October 20, 2020 with Recommendations to the Commission on the Civil Liability Regime for Artificial Intelligence (2020/2014(INL))
The organizers anticipate that there will be particular interest in the interplay between the so-called AI Act, the Artificial Intelligence Liability Directive and the Defective Product Liability Directive.
The main goal of this conference is to enable a broad, cross-state debate on the future regulation of AI in terms of its liability. The observations and conclusions made, especially those included within the framework of the post-conference monograph, will be able to inspire possible amendments to the planned directive, thus helping it to take its optimal shape.
For this reason, the organizers have planned the aforementioned conference as an international event, allowing speeches in English, Spanish and Portuguese. IBEROJUR – Instituto Iberoamericano de Estudos Jurídicos, based in Porto (Portugal) – has been successfully recruited as a co-organizer for the said project.
The subject matter of the conference is extremely topical, and the publication containing the papers delivered within the framework of the conference will undoubtedly have a pioneering character and will be a kind of signpost for further findings of both domestic and European doctrine and, most likely, legislation. According to the organizers’ assumptions, the resulting monograph of the conference will be published in a prestigious Spanish or Portuguese legal publishing house.
