AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Culture and Education submits the following to the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, as the committees responsible:

Amendment 1

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 2 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(2a) Effective implementation of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 requires that the adjustments introduced to facilitate its application in practice do not reduce the clarity and accessibility of the regulatory framework for those required to apply it. In particular, where the Regulation is applied in the fields of education, culture and media, a clear understanding of the obligations and safeguards related to the use of AI systems remains essential to ensure its effective and consistent application, with a particular attention given to rightholders from the cultural and creative sectors. The measures introduced to support timely and proportionate compliance with this Regulation should therefore continue to support clarity and accessibility of its requirements, thereby contributing to informed use of AI systems and trust in their deployment.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 3

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(3) Consequently, targeted amendments to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 are necessary to address certain implementation challenges, with a view to the effective application of the relevant rules.

(3) Consequently, targeted amendments to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 are necessary to address certain implementation challenges, with a view to the effective application of the relevant rules. As AI systems are increasingly used in education and in the cultural and creative sectors, their deployment might raise specific considerations linked to learning processes, cultural expression and media pluralism. When applying this Regulation, particular attention should therefore be paid to these sectors in order to support informed use of AI and maintain trust in its deployment. In the field of education, this specifically requires safeguards to ensure that the deployment of AI systems preserves pedagogical autonomy, guarantees high standards of data privacy for learners, and prevents dependency on proprietary ecosystems (vendor lock-in).

Amendment 3

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 5

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(5) Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 currently imposes an obligation on all providers and deployers of AI systems to ensure AI literacy of their staff. AI literacy development starting from education and training and continuing in a lifelong learning manner is crucial to equip providers, deployers and other affected persons with the necessary notions to make informed decisions regarding AI systems deployment. However, experience shared by stakeholders reveals that a one-size-fits-all solution is not suitable for all types of providers and deployers in relation to the promotion of AI literacy, rendering such a horizontal obligation ineffective in achieving the objective pursued by this provision. Moreover, data indicate that imposing such an obligation creates an additional compliance burden, particularly for smaller enterprises, whereas AI literacy should be a strategic priority, regardless of regulatory obligations and potential sanctions. In light of that, Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 should be amended to require the Member States and the Commission, without prejudice to their respective competences, to individually, collectively and in cooperation with relevant stakeholders encourage providers and deployers to provide a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf, including through offering training opportunities, providing informational resources, and allowing exchange of good practices and other non-legally binding initiatives. The European Artificial Intelligence Board (‘Board’) will ensure recurrent exchange between the Commission and Member States on the topic, while the Apply AI Alliance will allow discussion with the wider community. This amendment is without prejudice to the broader measures taken by the Commission and the Member States to promote AI literacy and competences for the wider population, including learners, students, and citizens at different ages and in particular through education and training systems.

deleted

Amendment 4

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 5 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(5a) The promotion of AI literacy plays an important role in supporting citizens’ understanding of AI and its impact on society, including awareness of the opportunities and risks associated with AI, in particular the ability to identify and counter algorithmic bias, discrimination, and the amplification of disinformation, thereby contributing to its democratic governance and public oversight. In practice, such understanding is fostered through education, training, skilling and reskilling programmes, as well as through culture, media literacy and public awareness initiatives. These broader initiatives complement the organisational AI literacy measures taken by providers and deployers of AI systems for their staff and other persons acting on their behalf. Member States should therefore be encouraged, in the context of promoting AI literacy, to involve education providers, cultural institutions, media organisations and civil society actors, in order to ensure that AI literacy initiatives are accessible, inclusive and adapted to different audiences and age groups.

Amendment 5

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 5 b (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(5b) AI literacy, together with media and digital literacy, is especially important for children and young people, who are often exposed to AI systems from an early age without sufficient awareness of bias, inaccuracies, or misleading outputs, and of the effects such systems may have on trust in information, privacy, and the shaping of opinions and behaviour. Measures to promote these literacies should support critical thinking, digital autonomy, and informed decision-making, and should be tailored to different ages and learning contexts.

Amendment 6

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 5 c (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(5c) Artificial intelligence is increasingly present in the digital environments used by children and young people, including in education, social media, online gaming, and cultural and creative platforms. Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 should therefore be applied in a manner that reflects how children and young people interact with AI systems and their specific need for protection and age-appropriate information.

Amendment 7

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 6 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6a) AI systems that alter, manipulate or artificially produce images or videos depicting natural persons engaged in sexually explicit activities, displaying their intimate body parts, or undresses a person without consent cause harm to victims and violate fundamental rights to dignity and privacy. Recent developments have demonstrated the incompatibility of certain AI practices with the Union's fundamental rights framework. The nudification of women, manipulation of intimate images and generation of child sexual abuse material constitute clear breaches of fundamental rights and Union law. However, significant legal uncertainty remains as to whether AI-powered nudity applications fall within the scope of the AI practices prohibited by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Article 112 of that Regulation obliges the Commission to assess, on an annual basis, the necessity of amendments to the list of prohibited practices laid down in Article 5 and the list set out in Annex III, and to submit the findings of that assessment to the European Parliament and the Council. The Commission has failed to meet the deadline for the previous assessment period. For this reason, it seems adequate to specify that prohibited practices under Article 5 include the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an AI system that can generate or manipulate sexualised audio, images and videos of individuals, thereby facilitating non-consensual sharing of intimate or manipulated material as defined in Directive (EU) 2024/1385.

Amendment 8

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 9

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(9) To streamline compliance and reduce the associated costs, providers of AI systems should not be required to register AI systems referred to in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 in the EU database pursuant to Article 49(2) of that Regulation. Given that such systems are not considered high-risk under certain conditions where they do not pose significant risk of harm to the health, safety or fundamental rights of persons, imposing registration requirements would constitute a disproportionate compliance burden. Nevertheless, a provider who considers that an AI system falls under Article 6(3) remains obligated to document its assessment before that system is placed on the market or put into service. This assessment may be requested by national competent authorities.

Amendment 9

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 11 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(11a) Extending opportunities for real-world testing can support innovation, but it should not result in vulnerable groups becoming default test populations. Where real-world testing involves AI systems intended for use in education and vocational training, or is carried out in environments where minors are likely to be affected, the real-world testing plan should set out safeguards that are specific to that setting, including clear information for affected persons and meaningful involvement of deployers such as schools and other public-interest organisations responsible for those environments.

Amendment 10

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 20

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(20) To allow sufficient time for providers of generative AI systems subject to the marking obligations laid down in Article 50(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 to adapt their practices within a reasonable time without disrupting the market, it is appropriate to introduce a transitional period of 6 months for providers who have already placed their systems on the market before the 2 August 2026.

deleted

Amendment 11

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 21

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(21) To provide sufficient time for providers of high-risk AI systems and to clarify applicable rules to the AI systems already placed on the market or put into service before the entry into application of relevant provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, it is appropriate to clarify the application of a grace period provided in Article 111(2) of that Regulation. The grace period, for the purpose of Article 111(2), should apply to a type and model of AI systems already placed in the market. This means that if at least one individual unit of the high-risk AI system has been lawfully placed on the market or put into service before the date specified in Article 111(2), other individual units of the same type and model of high-risk AI system are subject to the grace period provided in Article 111(2) and thus may continue to be placed on the market, made available or put into service on the Union market without any additional obligations, requirements or the need for additional certification, as long as the design of that high-risk AI system remains unchanged. For the purposes of application of the grace period provided in Article 111(2), the decisive factor is the date on which the first unit of that type and model of high-risk AI system was placed on the market or put into service on the Union market for the first time. Any significant change to the design of that AI system after the date specified in Article 111(2) should trigger the obligation of the provider to comply fully with all relevant provisions of this Regulation applicable to high-risk AI systems, including the conformity assessment requirements.

deleted

Amendment 12

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 22

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(22) Article 113 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 establishes the dates of entry into force and application of that Regulation, notably that the general date of application is 2 August 2026. For the obligations related to high-risk AI systems laid down in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the delayed availability of standards, common specifications, and alternative guidance and the delayed establishment of national competent authorities lead to challenges that jeopardise those obligation’s effective entry into application and that risk to significantly increase implementation costs in a way that does not justify maintaining their initial date of application, namely 2 August 2026. Building on experience, it is appropriate to put in place a mechanism that links the entry into application to the availability of measures in support of compliance with Chapter III, which may include harmonised standards, common specifications, and Commission guidelines. This should be confirmed by the Commission by decision, following which the rules obligations for high-risk AI systems should apply after 6 months as regards AI systems classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(2) and Annex III and after 12 months as regards AI systems classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(1) and Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. However, this flexibility should only be extended until 2 December 2027 as regards AI systems classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(2) and Annex III and until 2 August 2028 as regards AI systems classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(1) and Annex I to that Regulation, by which dates those rules should enter into application in any case. The distinction between the entry into application of the rules as regards AI systems classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(2) and Annex III and Article 6(1) and Annex I to that Regulation is consistent with the difference between the initial dates of application envisaged in Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and aims to provide the necessary time for adaptation and implementation of the corresponding obligations.

Amendment 13

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 23

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(23) In light of the objective to reduce implementation challenges for citizens, businesses and public administrations, it is essential that harmonised conditions for the implementation of certain rules are adopted only where strictly necessary. For that purpose, it is appropriate to remove certain empowerments bestowed on the Commission to adopt such harmonised conditions by means of implementing acts in cases where those conditions are not met. Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 should therefore be amended to remove the empowerments conferred on the Commission in Article 50(7), Article 56(6), and Article 72(3) thereof to adopt implementing acts. The removal of the empowerment to adopt a harmonised template for a post-market monitoring plan in Article 72(3) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 has as an additional benefit that it will offer more flexibility for providers of high-risk AI systems to put in place a system for post-market monitoring that is tailored to their organisation. At the same time, recognising the need to offer clarity how providers of high-risk AI systems are required to comply, the Commission should be required to publish guidance.

At the same time, recognising the need to offer clarity how providers of high-risk AI systems are required to comply, the Commission should be required to publish guidance. In that context, codes of practice encouraged by the AI Office pursuant to Article 50(7) should, where relevant, provide guidance on how appropriate user information and awareness can be ensured in a proportionate manner, including in situations where AI systems present lower risks, in particular in education and training, media and information services, cultural and creative activities, or the provision of public services.
