The EU Council agreed on its position regarding the Artificial Intelligence Act, aiming to streamline rules for AI deployment across member states.
The Story
This marks a key step towards final legislation.
Why It Matters
The EU AI Act isn't theoretical; it's locking in. This "streamlining" means the core obligations are set. For your European SMB, August 2026 is rapidly approaching. Waiting for full clarity is a luxury you don't have. Start auditing your AI use, especially with client data.
