EU AI Liability Directive for Auditors
What does EU AI Liability Directive require of a Auditor?
The EU AI Liability Directive was a Commission proposal (COM(2022) 496 final) for a Directive on adapting non-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence. Under EU AI Liability Directive, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
