The European Commission is contemplating a delay in implementing parts of its stringent artificial intelligence (AI) legislation, following pressure from major tech firms and the US government. The decision, expected on November 19th, is part of a "Simplification" framework aimed at easing digital regulations. The EU's AI law, known for its rigorous standards, has faced criticism from various stakeholders, including the US government and European groups. A senior EU official revealed ongoing discussions with the Trump administration about potential adjustments to the AI law and other digital regulations. The proposed draft suggests a one-year grace period for companies breaching rules on high-risk AI applications and postpones penalties for new AI transparency rule violations until August 2027.
