This draft opinion amends the Commission proposal to simplify the AI Act, covering AI agents, AI literacy, bias detection, prohibited practices, sandboxes, standards, and application dates. It defines AI agents as systems executing autonomous actions, encourages AI literacy, allows bias detection with special data, bans sexualised deepfakes, and adjusts high-risk AI timelines.

Committee position. The Committee on Legal Affairs proposes amendments to the Commission proposal, focusing on AI agents, bias detection, prohibited practices, and delaying high-risk obligations.

Key points

  1. Amends the AI system definition to include systems that execute autonomous actions, covering AI agents.
  2. Replaces the mandatory AI literacy obligation with an encouragement by Member States and the Commission.
  3. Allows providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems to process special categories of personal data for bias detection, subject to strict conditions.
  4. Adds a prohibited practice: AI systems that generate or manipulate sexualised content to facilitate non-consensual sharing.
  5. Deletes the requirement to register AI systems under Article 6(3) in the EU database.
  6. Requires the AI Office to establish an EU-level AI regulatory sandbox and integrates real-world testing plans into sandbox plans.
  7. Deletes provisions extending real-world testing to Annex I high-risk systems and voluntary agreements.
  8. Aligns application of Chapter III high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 and requires common specifications by that date.
  9. Requires the Commission to issue standardisation requests for Chapter V obligations by 2 December 2027.
  10. Deems compliance with cybersecurity rules under Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 as compliance with Article 15 requirements.
  11. Extends the transition period for high-risk systems already on the market to 31 December 2030.
