Statement relation comments

AI Verified In context, “This” refers to proposed updated EU liability rules, including a specific proposal on liability of AI systems; saying those rules should make it easier for consumers to claim compensation for damage caused by AI systems is directly about liability for AI-caused harms and strongly signals a pro-liability stance on the statement.

AI Verified In context, she is describing the EU’s proposal for “updated liability rules” for AI and says those rules would make it easier for consumers to get compensation for damage caused by AI systems. That strongly implies support for AI companies/deployers being legally liable for harms, even though she also says the rules should be proportionate.
