European Union Regulators Delay Some AI Act Provisions, Delete Others

The European Parliament and member states agreed to amend the EU AI Act, delaying high-risk AI system compliance deadlines from August 2026 to December 2027 and extending other deadlines for watermarking, sandbox environments, and AI-driven products.

The changes await formal adoption and follow sustained lobbying from European industry and two influential competitiveness reports.
