Milan, May 5, 2026 hosted the third Wolters Kluwer Legal Forum, organized with AIRIA, dedicated to civil liability arising from integrating Artificial Intelligence in highly regulated industrial sectors. Participants focused on managing AI-related risk within a European context described as lacking a uniform and comprehensive regulatory framework, and observed that courts are increasingly required to identify liability criteria in cases involving AI systems. The event singled out healthcare and pharma, banking, finance and insurance, and labour and human resources as sectors where AI adoption raises specific compliance, governance and rights-protection challenges.

Speakers emphasized the shift from abstract principles to concrete application of rules within existing regulatory ecosystems and liabilities, urging new contractual and organizational models and shared responsibility among developers, providers and professionals. Wolters Kluwer highlighted its Future Ready Lawyer 2026 findings showing widespread AI adoption and the need for trusted content, advanced technology and professional expertise to integrate AI responsibly; AIRIA and professional bodies stressed people centrality, process transparency and practical governance. The forum also presented Wolters Kluwer’s Libra legal AI vision aimed at trust, ethics, practicality and accuracy.
