Article 110 Amendment to Directive (EU) 2020/1828
Summary What does Article 110 of the AI act regulation say?
This is a brief amendment article that connects the AI Act to existing EU consumer protection law.
Specifically, it adds the AI Act to the list of Union laws covered by Directive (EU) 2020/1828 on representative actions, which is the EU framework that allows qualified entities (such as consumer organisations) to bring collective legal actions on behalf of consumers.
By adding the AI Act to that list, infringements of its provisions can become the subject of representative actions for the protection of consumers' collective interests.
Important points:
- The AI Act is added to the scope of Directive (EU) 2020/1828, meaning consumer organisations and other qualified entities can bring representative actions for breaches of the AI Act.
- This article does not create new obligations directly on operators, but rather expands the enforcement avenues available against them.
- The change is made by amending Annex I of Directive (EU) 2020/1828, slotting the AI Act in as entry (68) on that list.
