Europe's answer to AI regulation complexity is to just delay most of it

The EU has agreed on simplified AI rules. The "Digital Omnibus on AI" pushes back deadlines for high-risk AI to late 2027 or 2028 and eases requirements for small and medium-sized businesses. "Nudification" apps are now explicitly banned. The labeling requirement for deepfakes and AI-generated text still takes effect in August 2026.
