Summary/Abstract: A new era of technical progress, development of the digital world and artificial intelligence presents new challenges in terms of safety and liability. Social acceptance of these modern technologies depends on ensuring a high level of safety and on the implementation of a European legal regime of civil liability that provides users with legal certainty about the risks assumed, encourages the prevention of damage, and provides injured parties with effective mechanisms for recourse in the event of damage. The aim of this work is to approach a legal regime of civil liability for damage resulting from Artificial Intelligence, through a comparative and critical analysis of the Portuguese regime and the proposals under consideration by the European Union Council and suggest some aspects that a future liability regime should consider.
