PANews reported on November 7th that, according to the Financial Times, the European Commission, under immense pressure from major tech companies and the US government, has proposed suspending parts of its landmark artificial intelligence (AI) law. The EU plans to relax some digital rules in a decision on November 19th, under a framework called "Simplification." The EU has faced significant pressure from the US government, major tech companies, and European groups regarding its AI law, considered the world's strictest regulatory framework for AI technology development. A senior EU official stated that the EU has been in contact with the Trump administration regarding adjustments to the AI law and other digital regulations. The draft law suggests the EU is considering providing a one-year grace period for companies that violate rules on the highest-risk uses of AI, and also proposes postponing the implementation of penalties for violations of the new AI transparency rules until August 2027.
