The European Union remains committed to the timeline for its AI legislation, despite demands from over a hundred tech companies, including major firms like Alphabet and Meta, for a delay. These companies argue that the proposed AI Act could undermine Europe's competitiveness in the evolving AI landscape. The AI Act establishes a risk-based regulatory framework, banning certain high-risk applications outright and requiring others to meet specific obligations. The full implementation of the AI Act is scheduled for mid-2026, following a staggered rollout that began last year.
The European Union will adhere to its timeline for implementing the AI Act despite requests from over a hundred tech companies to delay it.
Tech giants like Alphabet, Meta, Mistral AI, and ASML are urging the European Commission to postpone the AI Act due to competitive concerns.
European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier stated there will be no delay in the AI Act implementation, emphasizing there are no grace periods or pauses.
The AI Act categorizes applications into different risk levels, banning 'unacceptable risk' cases and imposing obligations on 'high-risk' and 'limited risk' AI applications.
