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

The report now frames AI and algorithmic management as evolving concepts with both opportunities and risks, adding detailed statistics and references to existing EU laws. It strengthens requirements for transparency, human oversight, and social dialogue, and expands protections against discrimination and data misuse. The annex shifts from a draft directive to recommendations, softening legal obligations and adding proportionality for SMEs. The other changes are formal: renumbering of articles and recommendations, and updates to cross-references.
