EU Stands Firm: AI Regulation Proceeds as Planned
What the Rejected Delay Means
Despite loud demands from industry, the EU Commission has made clear: The AI Regulation timeline stands. For companies, the grace period is over.
1. Brussels Says No to a Pause
A clear No from Brussels: Despite loud protests from over 45 prominent companies like Airbus and Mistral AI, the EU AI Regulation will not be postponed.
“There is no grace period. There is no pause.”— Thomas Regnier, EU Commission Spokesperson
2. Why Industry is Protesting
Company criticism focuses mainly on the regulation of general-purpose AI models (GPAI).
- Missing Guidelines: The 'Code of Practice' for GPAI models, intended as practical guidance, is delayed.
- Bureaucratic Burden: Critics fear high costs and complex reporting requirements.
- Competitive Disadvantage: The concern is that overly strict regulation in Europe will slow development compared to the US and China.
3. What This Means for Your Company: Act Instead of Hope
The EU Commission's clear stance means waiting is no longer an option.
Important Upcoming Deadlines (Excerpt):
August 2025: Obligations for GPAI Models
Rules for large AI models like ChatGPT come into force.
August 2026: Full Application for High-Risk Systems
Strict requirements for high-risk AI systems become fully effective.
Conclusion: The Time for Hesitation is Over
The EU Commission's decision is a wake-up call. The AI Regulation is no longer distant future music but a present business reality.
