"The core unresolved question on Tuesday was whether high-risk AI systems embedded in products already regulated under EU product safety legislation should be exempt from the AI Act's additional requirements."
"The Omnibus has come under sustained criticism from researchers and civil society organisations who argue that weakening the AI Act before its core provisions have even come into force risks dismantling one of Europe's most distinctive regulatory assets."
Negotiations on the EU's AI Act ended without agreement, exposing divisions over high-risk AI systems in consumer products. The trilogue aimed to amend the AI Act, GDPR, e-Privacy Directive, and Data Act, framed as a competitiveness measure. Critics argue it undermines protections. The key issue was whether high-risk AI systems should be exempt from additional AI Act requirements. The European Parliament supports existing sectoral rules, while the Council is hesitant about broad exemptions. Critics warn that weakening the AI Act could dismantle essential regulatory frameworks.
