AI Governance and Liability in Europe: A Primer

Ceyhun co-edited and co-authored AI Governance and Liability in Europe: A Primer, a leading work analysing the broader regulatory landscape of artificial intelligence across the European Union, covering key intersections with data protection, competition, IP and human rights.

The book provides extensive coverage of the EU AI Act and its broader regulatory context, addressing the rapid emergence of governance frameworks at international, European and national levels. Ceyhun also contributed a foundational chapter introducing the EU AI Act and its regulatory architecture.

The book examines, among others:

  • The interaction between AI and competition law, data protection, intellectual property and human rights
  • An article-by-article analysis of the proposed EU AI Liability Directive
  • Core regulatory principles such as fairness, transparency, human-centredness and trustworthiness
  • The use of publicly available data for AI training under the GDPR
  • The convergence and divergence of global AI governance frameworks

The work also addresses key questions around implementation and enforcement, including the influence of international frameworks (OECD, UNESCO, Council of Europe) and developments in other jurisdictions such as the United States and China.

This publication provides legal professionals, policymakers and industry stakeholders with a comprehensive and practical framework for navigating AI governance and liability in Europe.
