Keynote: Product Regulation for Software. Where Is the World Going? - Ciarán O'Riordan, OpenForum Europe & Catharina Maracke, Software Compliance Academy
Wednesday October 30, 2024 10:30 - 10:50 JST
Room 1
Suddenly Europe has market regulation for software. Lots of it. Discussions are already happening in other countries. Europe now has a product liability law which creates no-fault liability for software, there's a cyber resilience law which puts conditions on being allowed to publish software, and we have a 459-page law about artificial intelligence. This presentation is specifically aimed at non-European audiences, with information in two parts: Firstly, for non-Europeans doing business in Europe, or projects with developers in Europe: how can the free and open source software ecosystem organise compliance? Secondly, with other parts of the world looking to Europe to see what has been done right, or what should be done differently: how can we be part of leading the legislators towards a sensible legal framework that works well with free and open source software? Can sensible laws even produce incentives for publishing as free and open source software? While discussing these topics, there are also interesting learnings about how legislation interacts differently with free and open source software, and how our ecosystem can participate effectively in legislative procedures.
