Today, the Council gave its final green light on a new regulation aiming to streamline and simplify certain rules regarding\u00a0artificial intelligence (AI)<\/strong>. The new law forms part of the so-called\u00a0\u2018Omnibus VII\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0legislative package in the EU\u2019s\u00a0simplification<\/strong>\u00a0agenda.<\/p>\n

The package includes proposals for two regulations aiming to simplify the EU\u2019s digital legislative framework and the implementation of harmonised rules on AI.<\/p>\n

Application dates<\/h3>\n

Given that provisions on high-risk AI systems were due to enter into force on\u00a02 August 2026<\/strong>, the co-legislators treated this part of the package with\u00a0utmost priority<\/strong>\u00a0and agreed on a fixed timeline for the delayed application of high-risk rules: the new application dates would be\u00a02 December 2027<\/strong>\u00a0for stand-alone high-risk AI systems and\u00a02 August 2028<\/strong>\u00a0for high-risk AI systems embedded in products.<\/p>\n

Other key elements of the new regulation<\/h3>\n

The new law adds a new provision in the AI act, prohibiting AI practices regarding the generation of\u00a0non-consensual sexual and intimate content or child sexual abuse<\/strong>\u00a0material (CSAM). AI systems that generate nude images of real people or edit clothes out in existing photos to reveal intimate parts are set to be banned as of December this year.<\/p>\n

The new regulation\u00a0postpones<\/strong>\u00a0the deadline for the establishment of AI\u00a0regulatory sandboxes<\/strong>\u00a0by competent authorities at national level until\u00a02 August 2027<\/strong>\u00a0and reduces the grace period for providers to implement\u00a0transparency solutions for artificially generated content<\/strong>\u00a0from 6 months to 3 months, with the new deadline set on 2 December 2026.<\/p>\n

The text also clarifies the\u00a0competences of the AI Office<\/strong>\u00a0for the supervision of AI systems based on general-purpose AI models where the model and that system are developed by the same provider by listing exceptions where national authorities remain competent, including law enforcement, border management, judicial authorities and financial institutions.<\/p>\n
