EU Parliament has voted to delay certain deadlines for the AI Act, specifically impacting biometrics and high-risk AI applications.
The Story
This decision pushes back previously agreed-upon enforcement dates for these critical areas.
Why It Matters
Don't pop the champagne. This isn't a free pass, it's a strategic pause. For pharma, legal, or any SMB touching "high-risk" AI or biometrics, it means you have a bit more runway. Use it to build proper governance, not to delay starting. The core Act is still coming.
