EU Faces Backlash Over Proposed Delay to AI Act Enforcement
Privacy campaigners and civil rights groups have strongly criticised the European Commission’s proposal to postpone enforcement of several parts of the EU AI Act, particularly for high-risk systems. 
Critics argue the delay undermines fundamental rights protections, including the proper use of personal data. Meanwhile, business lobbies and tech firms welcome the move as it eases regulatory burden. The plan, which reflects mounting pressure from U.S. tech giants, could reshape how generative AI evolves in Europe.
