According to reports, companies, including tech giants like Alphabet and Meta, are urging the European Commission to postpone the enforcement of the AI Act by several years. The rules for general purpose AI models are set to take effect on August 2, 2025, with enforcement powers starting on August 2, 2026.
Key highlights:
• Companies seek a delay in implementing the AI Act provisions.
• Rules for GPAI models scheduled to be enforced from August 2, 2025.
• Compliance entails transparency, bias testing, and robustness checks.
• Companies face additional compliance costs under the AI Act.
The development raises concerns about the impact on the Indian tech ecosystem and its alignment with global AI regulations.
