The European Commission is considering plans to delay parts of the EU's landmark Artificial Intelligence Act, after intense pressure from businesses and Donald Trump's administration. The commission confirmed that a reflection is still ongoing on delaying aspects of the act, after media reports that it was weighing changes to the law with the aim of easing demands on companies. The EU's act, the first comprehensive legislation in the world regulating artificial intelligence, came into force in 2024, but many of its provisions do not yet apply.

Steelworkers and community activists say the Trump administration has put their health at risk by delaying and potentially scrapping pollution monitoring rules meant to protect nearby neighborhoods from dangerous toxins released into the air by the nation's steel and coke plants.
