AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to simplify the implementation of harmonised rules on artificial intelligence, known as the Digital Omnibus on AI.
The text amends the AI Act and the EASA Basic Regulation to make implementation and enforcement simpler, effective and uniform.
Parliament supports postponing the application date, with a set timeline of 2 December 2027 for Annex III systems and 2 August 2028 for Annex I systems.
It also introduces targeted adjustments on AI literacy, data processing for bias detection, notified bodies, cybersecurity and sandboxes.
AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation simplifies the AI Act by adjusting rules on AI literacy, bias detection, prohibited practices, high-risk classification, and supervision, and postpones application dates for high-risk AI obligations.
