Key points

The proposal aims to create a harmonized EU-wide legal framework for AI liability to ensure a functioning Digital Single Market.
High-risk AI systems will be subject to a strict liability regime, meaning operators are responsible for damages regardless of fault.
Compensation for high-risk AI damage is capped at two million euros for physical harm/death and one million euros for property or immaterial harm.
A special limitation period of 30 years is proposed for claims involving life, health, or physical integrity.
