Socialist and Green MEPs advocated for a new AI liability act to hold companies responsible for damages their models cause. The centre-right faction opposed this position, arguing Europe needs less regulation rather than more. The debate reflects broader EU disagreement on balancing AI innovation with consumer and public protection.
