Digital Omnibus on AI: Provisional compromise reshapes EU AI Act. Part 2: Data governance, innovation and extended deadlines for high-risk AI systems
EU negotiators have reached a provisional compromise under the Digital Omnibus package that modifies the AI Act, adjusting data governance requirements, reshaping innovation provisions, and extending compliance deadlines for operators of high-risk AI systems.
Why this matters: Deadline extensions for high-risk AI systems mean individuals may face consequential automated decisions — in hiring, credit, or public services — with fewer immediate safeguards in place, while revised data governance rules will determine how much personal data AI developers can lawfully use.
