The company \u003Cstrong>VeroNex\u003C\u002Fstrong> has submitted the \u003Cstrong>EU2122\u003C\u002Fstrong> standard to the IETF to technically standardize AI verification evidence and ensure compliance with the EU AI Act and the Product Liability Directive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Product Liability Directive follows from December 2026 – another milestone that holds manufacturers accountable. In parallel, courts are already dealing with concrete cases: the Munich Regional Court ruled in the GEMA v.
