New EU rules change product liability: the risks for your company

The European legislator is ushering product liability rules into the digital age. With the new Di-rective (EU) 2024/2853, which replaces the old product liability directive, software, AI, and da-ta-driven products now also fall under the liability regime. This means that product liability is no longer limited to physical goods, with direct consequences for manufacturers, developers, and companies deploying smart technology.
