This page explains what this publication covers, how sources and developments qualify for inclusion in our regulatory tracking, and what we anticipate for a paid institutional partner tier in 2027. It should be read alongside our Editorial Standards.
Agent Liability EU is an independent publication tracking the operator obligations created by Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act) and the revised Product Liability Directive. Our readers include in-house counsel, compliance officers, risk managers, chief technology officers, and policy professionals working in organisations that deploy autonomous AI agents within or into the European Union.
This publication is part of a five-site authority stack covering AI agent liability regulation, certification, insurance, and operator guidance. Organisations cited in our regulatory tracking, analysed in our briefings, or included in our tools appear because of the genuine relevance of their published positions to the field. Inclusion in our editorial map is a signal of substantive significance, not a commercial relationship.
In 2026, this site operates on an editorial-only basis. No carrier, vendor, law firm, consultancy, supervisory authority, or third party of any kind pays for inclusion, placement, ranking, or favourable framing in any content on this site. Every source cited, every regulatory development tracked, and every framework analysed qualifies on editorial grounds alone.
This commitment is set out in detail in our Editorial Standards. The two functions, editorial and commercial, operate on separate budgets and separate decision chains.
We apply the following criteria to determine whether a statute, guidance, court decision, supervisory opinion, or framework is included in our regulatory tracking and analysis.
A legislative instrument qualifies for tracking if it creates, modifies, or clarifies the obligations of operators or providers of AI systems in the European Union, including obligations under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Directive (EU) 2024/2853 (the revised Product Liability Directive), Directive (EU) 2022/2557 (the Critical Entities Resilience Directive), and related instruments. The instrument must be published in the Official Journal of the European Union or in the equivalent official record of the relevant member state authority.
A supervisory document qualifies if it is issued by a competent authority under the AI Act (an AI Supervisory Authority, a Market Surveillance Authority, or the EU AI Office), by EIOPA, EBA, ESMA, or a national financial supervisory authority, and it establishes or clarifies the expected conduct of operators in relation to AI system deployment, oversight, or incident reporting. The document must be published on the issuing authority's official website.
A court decision qualifies if it establishes or clarifies a principle relevant to the allocation of liability for AI agent conduct. This includes decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union, General Court, national courts of EU member states, and the European Court of Human Rights where the decision has AI-relevant implications. Enforcement actions by Data Protection Authorities, Market Surveillance Authorities, or national AI supervisors qualify if they produce a public decision or sanction.
A standard qualifies if it is published by ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, ETSI, or NIST and establishes requirements or guidance that is directly referenced in EU legislation or supervisory guidance applicable to AI operators. The standard must be in its published, official form.
We anticipate introducing a paid Partners tier in 2027 for verified institutional participants that pre-qualify against published criteria. The programme has not launched. Nothing below constitutes a commitment or a contractual offer. It is indicative only, to allow interested institutions to understand the intended direction and to express interest for the consultation process that will precede launch.
Tier 1: Reference Listing. A verified supervisory authority, law firm, consultancy, or implementation partner with documented expertise in AI Act compliance receives a named profile page on this site, with editorial coverage of their published positions and guidance. Illustrative annual range: EUR 5,000 to EUR 25,000.
Tier 2: Sponsored Research Briefing. A commissioned briefing produced by our editorial team on a topic proposed by the partner, clearly labelled as sponsored content, published separately from editorial coverage. Illustrative range: EUR 25,000 to EUR 100,000 per engagement, with a maximum of one per quarter per site.
Tier 3: Institutional Partnership. A multi-year, multi-site arrangement including data licensing for the regulatory tracker datasets, co-branded research, and visibility across the full Authority Stack. Pricing on application.
All paid placements will be visibly labelled as commercial. Paid partnership does not influence editorial coverage, regulatory tracking decisions, or the framing of any analysis. A law firm or consultancy that enters the paid partner programme is not guaranteed coverage of its published work, and a firm that does not enter the programme is not excluded from editorial coverage.
Being cited in our regulatory tracking, analysed in our briefings, or named in our tools does not constitute an endorsement by Agent Liability EU or by Future Proof Intelligence of any product, service, legal position, or interpretation. We are not a regulator, not a registry, not a law firm, and not an accreditation body. We track and analyse published material; we do not certify compliance, validate legal positions, or approve commercial conduct.
Citations in our articles should be understood as documentary references to published primary sources, not as endorsements of the positions taken in those sources.
We review all publicly available primary sources on an ongoing basis. If you believe a statute, guidance document, court decision, enforcement action, or framework that qualifies under Section 3 is not yet tracked in our coverage, please write to editors@agentliability.eu with the subject line "Editorial inclusion." Include a direct link to the primary source and a brief note on its relevance. Inclusion is editorial and free of charge. There is no guarantee of inclusion following a submission.
If you represent a supervisory authority, law firm, consultancy, or implementation partner with a material interest in EU AI Act operator compliance and you would like to be informed when the 2027 partner programme launches, please write to partnerships@agentliability.eu. We will contact you when the consultation process opens. We do not commit to launch dates beyond 2027.
The conflicts of interest applicable to this site are set out in Section 5 of the Editorial Standards. Future Proof Intelligence is the publisher. FP has a commercial interest in the development of the AI agent compliance market through its certification and intelligence services. This interest is disclosed and does not affect editorial coverage decisions.
