PREMIS User Group

PREMIS User Group is free and open for all PREMIS users. You can join the group, attend the meetings and get access to the group resources.

The main goal of the User Group is to share experiences and best practices of using assurance cases and the PREMIS tool.

We meet online on the second Thursday of each month. We have a specific topic for our discussion for each meeting. You can actively participate, share your opinions and hear about experiences of other members. You can also present your ideas, your approach for assurance cases and propose topics for discussion.

The next meeting: Thursday, 12 September 2024 at 15:00 CET / 14:00 GMT / 9:00 EST

The main topic of the meeting will be Presenting paper – Managing Changing Product Liability Obligations Emerging from new Proposed EU Directive

We are amidst a digital transformation with the potential to disrupt our societies to an extent that overshadows that of the industrial revolution. Increasingly autonomous systems enabled by artificial intelligence form complex sociotechnical systems from which new risks emerge that individuals, corporations and society need to manage.

While risks emerging from the deployment and operation of such systems have received a lot of attention, another challenge is that it is unclear how liability obligations for harm arising from accidents with such systems will be allocated under current laws, and furthermore how ongoing changes to the legal system could impact this. Of particular interest currently is a proposal for a new product liability directive (PLD) in the EU, that significantly changes the liability of manufacturers of complex products.

To avoid being caught by surprise by these uncertainties, stemming from disruptive technologies paired with a lagging legal system attempting to catch up with ongoing product developments, this talk suggests that industry takes concrete steps to prepare for this new and uncertain reality. Thus, recommendations are provided for the development and operation of such systems, that can help manufacturers and suppliers controlling the new emerging risks arising and managing the associated liability risks.
