EU Lawmakers Delay AI Act Deadlines
9.1
European Parliament voted to delay key parts of the EU AI Act, pushing compliance deadlines for high-risk AI systems to December 2027 and sector-specific systems to August 2028, while deferring watermarking requirements until November 2026; all had been due this August. Lawmakers also backed proposals to ban nudify apps, and Parliament must now negotiate the final text with the European Council before changes can take effect.
Key Points
- 1Delay high-risk AI compliance to December 2027, sector-specific rules to August 2028.
- 2Back ban on nudify apps, exempting systems with effective safety measures preventing image creation.
- 3Increase compliance uncertainty for companies, requiring negotiation with the European Council before enactment.
Scoring Rationale
High regulatory impact and clear implementation changes, limited by pending negotiations and remaining legal uncertainty.
