- Description: ECIPE's Fredrik Erixon, Oscar Guinea and Philipp Lamprecht estimate the revised Product Liability Directive, which extends liability to software and AI, cuts EU GDP by 0.17 to 0.24 percent and imports by up to EUR 36.5 million a year through a reversed burden of proof and higher insurance costs.
