EU weighs pausing AI Act enforcement amid Big Tech and U.S. pressure
The EU may delay enforcement of its AI Act under pressure from US tech firms and trade disputes.
The European Commission proposed delaying enforcement of key provisions of the Artificial Intelligence Act after lobbying by U.S. tech firms and trade officials.
The law, which came into force August 2024, regulates high-risk AI systems and imposes fines for non-compliance from 2026. Sources say a one-year grace period could be granted, with final decisions due by 19 November.
Critics warn the move may undermine EU leadership in AI governance.
