- The European Union has agreed upon simplified AI rules, pushing back the deadlines for high-risk AI to late 2027 or 2028 and easing requirements for small and medium-sized businesses. “Nudification” apps are now explicitly banned.

- This strategy reflects a cautious response to AI’s rapid advancements by providing some breathing room before stringent rules are implemented, particularly beneficial for smaller enterprises that may struggle to comply with stricter regulations sooner.
