The EU has reached a provisional agreement to amend parts of the AI Act, delaying some high-risk AI obligations to December 2027 (and August 2028 for AI as safety components), postponing watermarking requirements to December 2026, banning AI systems that create child sexual abuse material or non-consensual explicit deepfakes (targeting 'nudifier' apps), and introducing simplification measures to reduce overlapping compliance for AI providers and SMEs; the agreement still requires formal parliamentary and Council approval before becoming law.
