Civil Liability Insurance
Mandatory insurance covering AI-related harm for regime participants.
How the laws define this
Both instruments establish civil liability insurance as a mandatory requirement for participants operating within experimental legal regimes involving artificial intelligence, ensuring financial resources are available to compensate third parties for harm resulting from these activities. They diverge primarily in how they define the operational framework and scope of coverage. Federal Law on AI Liability and Updated Experimental Legal Regimes (Federal Law No. 123-FZ) emphasizes regulatory implementation, specifying that minimum coverage limits must vary according to the application's risk level, designating insurance proceeds as the primary source of compensation, and subjecting claims to regulatory timing requirements. In contrast, Федеральный закон от 8 июля 2024 г. N 169-ФЗ "О внесении изменений в Федеральный закон "Об экспериментальных правовых режимах в сфере цифровых инноваций в Российской Федерации" focuses specifically on the nature of protected interests, defining coverage around financial protection for damages inflicted upon the life, health, or property of third parties.
Synthesised from the 2 statutory definitions below. Each one is quoted in full, with its source.
