À propos de cet audio
According to the European Commission, the AI Act has already entered into force and is rolling out in phases, with early rules on AI literacy and some banned practices already live and obligations for general‑purpose AI models – the big foundation models behind chatbots and image generators – kicking in from August 2025. Wirtek’s analysis walks through those dates and makes the point that for existing models, the grace period only stretches to 2027, which in AI years is about three paradigm shifts away.
At the same time, Akin Gump reports that Brussels is quietly acknowledging the complexity by proposing, via its Digital Omnibus package, to push full implementation for high‑risk systems out to December 2027. That “delay” is less a retreat and more an admission: regulating AI is like changing the engine on a plane that’s not just mid‑flight, it’s also still being designed.
The Future of Life Institute’s EU AI Act Newsletter this week zooms in on something more tangible: the first draft Code of Practice on transparency of AI‑generated content. Hundreds of people from industry, academia, civil society, and member states have been arguing over how to label deepfakes and synthetic text. Euractiv’s Maximilian Henning even notes the proposal for a common EU icon – essentially a tiny “AI” badge for images and videos – a kind of nutritional label for reality itself.
Meanwhile, Baker Donelson and other legal forecasters are telling compliance teams that as of August 2025, providers of general‑purpose AI must disclose training data summaries and compute, while downstream users have to make sure they’re not drifting into prohibited zones like indiscriminate facial recognition. Suddenly, “just plug in an API” becomes “run a fundamental‑rights impact assessment and hope your logs are in order.”
Zoom out and the European Parliament’s own “Ten issues to watch in 2026” frames the AI Act as the spine of a broader digital regime: GDPR tightening enforcement, the Data Act unlocking access to device data, and the Digital Markets Act nudging gatekeepers – from cloud providers to app stores – to rethink how AI services are integrated and prioritized.
Critics on both sides are loud. Some founders grumble that Europe is regulating itself into irrelevance while the United States and China sprint ahead. But voices around the Apply AI Strategy, presented by Henna Virkkunen, argue that the AI Act is the boundary and Apply AI is the accelerator: regulation plus investment as a single, coordinated bet that trustworthy AI can be a competitive advantage, not a handicap.
So as listeners experiment with new models, synthetic media, and “shadow AI” tools inside their own organizations, Europe is effectively saying: you can move fast, but here is the crash barrier, here are the guardrails, and here is the audit trail you’ll need when something goes wrong.
