EU’s AI Regulations Face Industry Pushback and Calls for Postponement

The European Union has unveiled the Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI Models, a significant step in preparing for the AI Act scheduled to be implemented on August 2, 2025. This Code is designed to assist companies in aligning with forthcoming regulations. Despite these efforts, industry voices are raising concerns about the tight timeline, arguing that there isn’t enough time to adequately prepare for compliance. Many are urging for a delay in the enforcement to ensure readiness and smooth adaptation to the new requirements.
