European Union Proposed to Delay Some Key AI Act Rules Amid Industry Push-back

European Union Proposed to Delay Some Key AI Act Rules Amid Industry Push-back
The European Commission’s latest “Digital Omnibus” regulatory package includes a delay in the enforcement of various high-risk AI provisions until December 2027, along with efforts to reduce overlapping data-protection rules and simplify compliance for SMEs. 
While regulators say the delay ensures technical readiness and avoids stifling innovation, rights-groups argue it dilutes protections for vulnerable users and shifts balance in favour of large tech firms.
