EU Pushes Back High-Risk AI Rules to December 2027 Amid Industry Pressure
The European Commission announced that enforcement of several “high-risk” provisions of the Artificial Intelligence Act will be postponed to December 2027 (from August 2026) under a regulatory simplification package.
The delay — which covers AI systems in biometric identification, credit scoring, health services, hiring and road-traffic applications — is intended to ease compliance burdens on companies including large tech firms. Critics say it weakens rights protections and gives Big Tech extra time. (
