EU and Parliament Unable to Agree on AI Act Amendments After Lengthy 12-Hour Debate, Postponing Decision to Next Month

The recent trilogue session on Tuesday ended without consensus between EU member states and European Parliament representatives regarding revisions to the EU's pioneering AI Act. The key point of contention is whether certain high-risk AI systems used in consumer products should be excluded from the strictest regulations being introduced. After a grueling 12 hours of discussion, the failure to finalize changes has delayed the closure of this legislative process until next month.
