The EU is preparing to postpone the implementation deadline for key rules concerning high-risk AI systems, which include technologies used in democratic processes and critical infrastructure. This delay is driven by concerns from member states, companies, and lobby groups who argue that the necessary technical standards for compliance cannot be developed in time. The move illustrates the practical limits of digital regulation, where the speed of legislative adoption often outstrips the technical capacity required for real-world enforcement. This postponement effectively extends the period during which these powerful, politically sensitive AI systems operate under relatively looser oversight.
