Key points
- The proposed directive is viewed as unnecessary due to existing laws like the AI Act and the Product Liability Directive.
- New regulations could increase compliance costs and insurance premiums, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.
- The current impact assessment is criticized for using hypothetical scenarios instead of real market data.
- There is significant legal uncertainty because official definitions and guidelines for AI systems are not yet available.
