"The AI Omnibus weakens the AI Act before key safeguards have even started to apply. It delays accountability, reduces transparency, fragments the AI Act’s horizontal logic and gives industry lobbyists a clear signal that implementation can be used to reopen obligations they dislike.

This matters beyond AI. The same deregulatory logic is visible in the Data Omnibus and the Digital Fitness Check, as well as in other areas far beyond digital rights. If this model becomes normal, the EU digital rulebook will remain permanently open to pressure whenever safeguards become inconvenient.

In our accompanying analysis, we explain the main changes in more detail. The conclusion is clear: the European Parliament should reject the AI Omnibus deal. Policymakers who care about fundamental rights, rule of law, and meaningful accountability must resist the normalisation of deregulation, whether through Omnibus files or any other rushed procedure used to weaken hard-won safeguards."

AI Omnibus deal: EU lawmakers should reject a rollback of AI safeguards - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

EU institutions have reached a final deal on the AI Omnibus, a file presented as technical simplification of the EU AI Act. The European Parliament and the Council of the EU should reject it.

🚨 The #AIOmnibus should never have happened.

The file was presented as "technical" simplifications of the arduously negotiated #AIAct, but it delays key protections, weakens transparency and creates a dangerous precedent for the EU's digital rules. It's just another vehicle for the EU's #deregulation agenda serving industry lobbies at the expense of our rights.

The #EuropeanCommission announced a political agreement on the #AIOmnibus, a package of amendments to the #AIAct. The agreement pushes the high-risk compliance deadline to December 2027, lightens paperwork for smaller firms, and bans AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery. The agreement aims to make the regulations more workable for industry. https://thenextweb.com/news/eu-ai-act-omnibus-deal-nudification-ban?eicker.news #tech #media #news
Brussels strikes deal to thin out AI Act and outlaw nudification apps

After two failed trilogues, Parliament and Council finally landed a compromise that pushes the high-risk compliance deadline to December 2027, lightens paperwork for smaller firms, and writes a long-promised ban on non-consensual intimate imagery into Europe’s flagship AI law. The European Commission confirmed on Wednesday that negotiators from the Parliament and the Council had finally […]

1/3 🚨 Early this morning, EU lawmakers sealed the deal on the EU's #AIOmnibus.

The outcome of the final negotiations is not surprising, given the massive #deregulation push from parts of the European Commission, the German government, industry actors, and some lawmakers.

But it is still deeply disappointing 🙅🏽‍♀️

With this morning's deal, we will have... 🧵

Press release 📄 #AI Omnibus: EU Negotiators Miss Opportunities as They Seal Deal

"While the #AIomnibus was adopted with notable speed, it is disappointing to see so much effort and political grandstanding yield so few results." 📉

The negotiations on the #AIOmnibus failed. In the early morning hours of Wednesday, the Trilogue decided to postpone discussions for two weeks. The news confirms our general criticism towards renegotiating important safeguards and rushing through key legislation of European digital policy. One of the few positive aspects of the Omnibus is the expansion of Article 5 to ban AI systems from creating non-consensual intimate content.
