Due to its specific nature and complexity, artificial intelligence questions existing legal regimes. This raises the question of whether there should be AI specific regulation, which is the subject of this thesis. In its desire to play a leading role in the field of AI, the EU has taken a proactive role in the regulation of AI by several legislation proposals, including the AI Act, the AI Liability Directive and the revised Product Liability Directive. The thesis starts by drawing attention to the absence of a generally accepted definition of AI and its specific nature. It focuses mainly on the adopted AI Act and critically examines its certain aspects, as well as its impact on existing legislation. The work further addresses the issue of civil liability of AI through the prism of the proposal of the AI Liability Directive and its impact on existing national rules. Finally, the work mentions the proposal of the revised Product Liability Directive from a comparative perspective together with the proposal of the AI Liability Directive.
