EU Postpones High-Risk AI Rules to December 2027

The European Commission has proposed delaying enforcement of its most sensitive AI Act provisions — including those for biometric identification, credit scoring, hiring, and automotive use — from August 2026 to December 2027. This is part of a broader “Digital Omnibus” package intended to simplify digital regulations like GDPR and e-Privacy.
While the Commission says the delay gives firms more time to comply, critics warn it risks weakening protections for citizen rights.
