Workshop Presentation Unpacking AI Liability at the CLAIR Workshop, Warsaw School of Economics

As part of the European Network on Digitalisation and E-Governance (ENDE), RGSL Associate Professor Rūta Liepiņa, together with Associate Professor Francesca Lagioia from the University of Bologna, presented their latest joint research on the formal assessment of AI liability and the presumption of causality at the CIVICA Liability and AI Regulation Workshop in Warsaw on 1–2 December 2025.

The workshop brought together legal scholars, economists, policymakers, behavioural scientists, and industry experts to examine how applied AI is reshaping traditional liability systems. Although the European Commission has withdrawn the AI Liability Directive, the political momentum in Parliament remains strong—making it essential to establish solid, evidence-based foundations for future ex-post supervision of AI systems, particularly amid an increasingly polarised and misinformation-driven public debate.

Discussions centred on AI-related harm, the fragmentation of national civil liability regimes, and the challenge of striking the right balance between innovation and accountability in the EU’s developing AI governance framework.

It was a pleasure to contribute to the discussions at the European level and to exchange ideas with many excellent scholars working on AI liability.
