The unstoppable spreading of artificial intelligence and the potential benefits it generates are unquestionable
facts. However, it also poses significant challenges, so European institutions have shown special interest
in having adequate regulation. In this sense, there are two realities that sometimes appear to be confronted:
technological development and the protection of the rights of individuals. In order to provide a satisfactory
response, the European Union has articulated what appears to be the definitive strategy based on three fundamental
blocks: the horizontal rules on artificial intelligence systems, security legislation and the derived
civil liability. Regarding the first two, it should be noted that the proposed Act of 2021 (the so-called Artificial
intelligence act), despite not resolving the civil liability issue, lays a foundation (the concept of an artificial
intelligence system itself, the classification of the latter, the requirements, criteria and obligations derived)
from which special provisions arise; this is, the proposed Directive on the modification of the Directive on
defective products and the proposed Directive for the adaptation of extra-contractual civil liability rules to
artificial intelligence. For this reason, the aforementioned basic guidelines, as well as the relations between
the two proposals of Directives, will be analysed in this study, even in a shallow manner, in order to expose
the current legislative frame. In any case, we will affect in more detail the proposal of the Directive for the
adaptation of extra-contractual civil liability rules to artificial intelligence, with which we aim to avoid the
possible differences arising when the jurisdictional bodies adapt the rules, which would result in an evident
legal insecurity, in fragmentation and a decrease in economic investment in this sector
