The European Commission wants to reduce regulations in the field of artificial intelligence

The European Commission has proposed postponing the application of strict rules under the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act, which was supposed to come into force in August 2026, now anticipated for December 2027. This decision affects AI systems considered "high-risk," used in processes such as CV evaluation or loan granting. Critics, including consumer groups and experts, warn that the delay could lead to the use of biased AI models, affecting consumer rights.

The Commission justifies the delay by the lack of preparedness of member states, but technology lobby groups are calling for clearer revisions. The adoption of the proposal could be complicated, given the opposition from MEPs and the need to amend existing regulations.
