The Withdrawal of the AI Liability Directive: A Critical Reflection on AI Liability in the EU

  • Law

On September 28, 2022, the European Commission proposed the AI Liability Directive (AILD) as part of its strategy to create a unified regulatory framework for AI technologies in Europe. The Product Liability Directive (PLD), proposed at the same time, has since garnered acceptance and was adopted into EU law in October 2024. The AILD Directive suffered a very different fate, resulting in its recent withdrawal.

Does genital pain affect your relationship? We want to hear from you!

If you or your partner experience genital pain, you know it is more than a physical problem. It can impact your emotions, intimacy, and daily life. Many couples face these challenges in silence, but your experiences can help us change that.

We are conducting a survey to understand how couples support each other, how genital pain affects relationships, and how it influences sexual and emotional well-being. By participating, you’ll contribute to research that can improve healthcare and treatment options for women worldwide.

What do you need to do?

We ask both you and your partner to complete a survey, which includes answering questions about your medical history, mental and sexual health, and your relationship.

How long does it take?

For you: Approximately 30 minutes
For your partner: Approximately 20 minutes

Who can participate?

To be eligible, you must:
✔ Be in a relationship for at least 6 months
✔ One partner must have been experiencing genital pain for at least 6 months (a formal diagnosis is not required)
✔ Both partners must provide informed consent
✔ Both partners must be 18 years or older

How can I participate?

To express interest in our study you can:

  1. Click this link to join the survey.
  2. Scan the QR code below on the attached flyer.
  3. Reach out to our study contact address: fpn-genitalpainstudy@maastrichtuniversity.nl

We will ask you and your partner to provide your email addresses. Once we receive your email, a member of our team will contact you and share the study's information letter. If you agree to participate, we will send two survey links (one to your email address and one to your partner's) along with two unique participant codes (one for each of you) to ensure anonymity.

Your privacy matters: Your email address and data will remain strictly confidential and will only be accessible to the research team. 

The study was approved by the Ethical Research Committee of the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (ERCPN): number 276_17_01_2024
