The EU Commission is planning targeted amendments to the AI Act, aiming to provide legal certainty for industries and reduce administrative burdens. These changes, part of a broader digital simplification package, are set for announcement in November and still need full Commission approval. While some industry leaders push for a pause to allow time for technical standards to be established, the Commission maintains its commitment to the AI Act’s core principles. However, a one-year grace period for enforcement is possible. Concerns persist that simplification efforts may compromise critical legal protections.
