   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The new version substantially expands the preamble, adding recitals on economic impact, digital rights, competitiveness, and specific AI-related concerns, while removing several original recitals. The recommendations are restructured and expanded, adding new calls on licensing, transparency, territoriality, and protection against deep fakes, while removing some original recommendations. The changes also include formal updates, such as revised references to the AI Act and the CDSM Directive, and wording adjustments throughout.
