Summary
The European Parliament has voted to delay key compliance deadlines for the EU AI Act, pushing back requirements for high-risk AI systems until December 2027 and extending deadlines for sector-specific AI systems until August 2028. Lawmakers also backed proposals to ban nudify apps that create non-consensual nude images. The delays affect provisions that were originally scheduled to take effect in August 2024, including watermarking requirements for AI-generated content.
