Highlights - Simplifying EU’s AI Rules - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
Co-Rapporteur Arba Kokalari presented the report on the “Digital Omnibus on artificial intelligence". The amendments aim to simplify how the EU’s AI Act is applied and enforced. The report proposes adjustments to implementation timelines and clarifies certain obligations for companies and authorities to ensure the rules can be applied more effectively and consistently across the EU.A key element of the suggested modifications concern the postponement of certain obligations for high-risk artificial intelligence systems. Instead of linking their application to a future Commission decision, the report sets fixed dates: 2 December 2027 for Annex III systems and 2 August 2028 for Annex I systems. This is intended to provide legal certainty and give more time for standards, guidance and national authorities to be ready.
The report clarifies rules on AI literacy, confirming that companies must ensure their staff have appropriate knowledge and skills, with support from the Commission and EU governments. It further specifies how sensitive personal data may be used to detect and correct bias in high-risk systems, under strict safeguards.
Other changes improve coordination between authorities, clarify the role of the European AI Office and strengthen regulatory testing environments. Overall, the aim is to simplify implementation while preserving key protections.
