Safe AI in 2025

In August 2024, the EU adopted the AI Directive. Information on how it works can be found here. 

The AI Directive has been implemented to protect EU citizens from software that is not safe. 

Examples on what can happen to people affected by unsafe AI can be viewed here. 

So it is important that companies comply with this legislation and especially its goals to protect people. However, many companies, especially companies from outside the EU, have difficulty keeping EU citizens safe as their first priority. 

In order to cure this problem, we start this Crowd Resourcing Campaign. Find an infraction on the AI directive by a tech company, and we award you EUR 10.000 in SOMI Litigation Certificates! In case your finding contributes to one of our ongoing cases, you earn EUR 50.000 in SOMI Litigation Certificates! 

We will award a maximum of 5 contributions of EUR 10.000. We will award a maximum of 3 contributions of EUR 50.000. 

An overview of our ongoing cases is found here. 

Your rewards will be issued in SOMI Litigation Certificates. 

If successful, you may earn a total of EUR 250.000. 

Rules and Regulations apply. 

Your contribution should contain: 

• - A well argumented lay-out of the non-compliance with the AI Directive 

• - A technical description that is understandable to a larger audience 

• - Support in the form of research findings and/or 3rd party reports 

• - An identification of the affected (groups of) individuals or entities 

• - A description of the consequences of the non-compliance for EU citizens and/or companies 

• - An identification of the parties involved and the time period and locations/websites in which it is taken place 

In general: we should be able to use your contribution directly in our litigation. 

Your contribution will remain confidential unless you give permission for it to be shared publicly. The intellectual property will remain yours, unless you grant us the rights to use and publicize it along with the reward given to you.

Your report should be in English and should be received prior to September 1st, 2025. 

You may work on this in groups, in which the rewards will be divided or awarded to the collective of your choice.
