EU may delay parts of landmark AI Act amid U.S. tech pressure
EU considers delaying parts of its AI Act due to U.
The European Commission is reportedly considering delaying implementation of key aspects of the Artificial Intelligence Act, originally passed in 2024, due to pressure from U.S. tech firms and the U.S. government. 
The Act regulates “high‑risk” AI systems and imposes fines for non‑compliance. 
Industry insiders suggest a one‑year grace period until 2027 may be introduced. A delay could impact regulatory clarity, investor decisions and the pace of AI adoption in Europe, though supporters warn it might undermine the Act’s protective intent.
