The European Commission is inviting feedback on draft rules for establishing AI regulatory sandboxes as part of the AI Act.. Legislative Process Consultation on AI regulatory sandboxes: The European Commission is seeking feedback on draft implementing act for establishing AI regulatory sandboxes under the AI Act, with consultation open from 2 December 2025 to 13 January 2026. The Act permits prospective providers to develop, train, validate and test innovative AI systems for limited periods under regulatory supervision within controlled frameworks established by competent authorities, including in real-world conditions where appropriate. These AI regulatory sandboxes aim to support the Act's objectives of fostering AI innovation whilst ensuring compliance with the legislation. The Commission will adopt an implementing act to set out common rules for the establishment and operation of sandboxes as mandated by the AI Act. The draft implementing act is available for public consultation for five weeks, during which stakeholders can submit comments on the proposed framework.

The European Commission has launched a whistleblower tool for reporting suspected breaches of the AI Act directly to the EU AI Office.. Legislative Process Commission launches Digital Omnibus proposal: The European Commission has proposed simplification measures within the Digital Omnibus to ensure effective AI Act implementation whilst supporting innovation. The package addresses artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data regulations. One of the key provisions links rules for high-risk AI systems to the availability of necessary support tools such as standards, with implementation delayed up to 16 months until the Commission confirms that these resources are ready. This approach aims to provide companies with essential guidance before enforcement begins. Other proposed amendments include extending SME simplifications to small mid-cap companies, potentially saving €225 million annually through reduced technical documentation requirements. The package also broadens regulatory sandbox access for more innovators, establishing an EU-level sandbox by 2028 and expanding real-world testing opportunities, particularly in sectors like automotive. Additionally, the Commission proposes reinforcing the AI Office's powers and centralising oversight of AI systems built on general-purpose models to reduce governance fragmentation.

The European Commission is expected to propose a year-long delay for key elements of its AI regulation in its forthcoming Digital Omnibus.. Legislative Process Code of practice on AI-generated content launches: The European Commission has initiated work on a code of practice for marking and labelling AI-generated content, launching with a plenary meeting on 5 November 2025. The initiative responds to increasing difficulties in distinguishing between AI-generated and human-created content, aiming to reduce risks of misinformation, fraud, impersonation, and consumer deception. This voluntary code will help providers meet AI Act transparency requirements, which mandate clear marking of deepfakes and certain AI-generated content. The code will support content marking in machine-readable formats to enable detection across various media types including audio, images, video and text. The code will particularly focus on helping deployers disclose AI involvement in public interest matters. Independent experts appointed by the European AI Office will lead a seven-month, stakeholder-driven process, incorporating input from public consultation and selected stakeholders. These requirements will take effect in August 2026, complementing existing regulations for high-risk and general-purpose AI. Meet the chairs of the new code here.

CEN and CENELEC have announced exceptional measures to speed up the development of European standards supporting the AI Act.. Legislative Process German digital ministry asks: According to Luca Bertuzzi from MLex, Germany's digital ministry has proposed significant changes to the AI Act through a draft position paper circulated by the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation, which requires Social Democratic Party approval to become official stance. The paper advocates for more lenient implementation and reduced requirements. It suggests one-year extensions for high-risk requirements and sectoral obligations deadlines, broader research exemptions encompassing real-world testing, and harmonisation of terminology across EU regulations. The ministry also seeks streamlined documentation requirements, clearer definitions of model providers and provider-user transitions, and a review of high-risk categories, particularly in insurance. Additional recommendations include simplifying technical documentation and AI literacy requirements, removing fundamental rights impact assessments for public bodies, and extending quality management system exemptions to SMEs and start-ups. Dutch authority probe into early violations of the rules for general-purpose AI models: Luca Bertuzzi also reported that OpenAI, xAI and Mistral may face early enforcement actions under the AI Act following a Dutch Data Protection Authority investigation revealing their chatbots provided misleading voting advice ahead [...] ---Outline:(00:35) Legislative Process(03:44) Analyses(08:05) Jobs(08:38) Discussion about this post --- First published: November 3rd, 2025 Source: https://artificialintelligenceact.substack.com/p/the-eu-ai-act-newsletter-89-ai-standards --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

To help implement the AI Act, the European Commission has launched two key resources: the AI Act Service Desk and the Single Information Platform.. Legislative Process Resources to support implementation: The European Commission has launched two key resources to facilitate AI Act implementation: the AI Act Service Desk and Single Information Platform. These initiatives aim to support trustworthy AI development while providing necessary legal clarity across Europe. The Single Information Platform will serve as a central hub for AI Act information, offering stakeholders comprehensive guidance on implementation. The platform includes materials from Member States, FAQs and various resources. Three digital tools are featured on the platform: 1) a Compliance Checker helping stakeholders identify their legal obligations and compliance requirements; 2) an AI Act Explorer for intuitive navigation through the Act's chapters, annexes and recitals; and 3) an online form connecting users to the AI Act Service Desk, staffed [...] ---Outline:(00:38) Legislative Process(03:56) Analyses(08:46) Discussion about this post --- First published: October 20th, 2025 Source: https://artificialintelligenceact.substack.com/p/the-eu-ai-act-newsletter-88-resources --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
