Raouna: Significant Simplification of AI Rules

The Deputy Minister for European Affairs, Marilena Raouna, emphasized the importance of simplifying the rules for Artificial Intelligence (AI), referring to an agreement reached during the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU. The proposal is part of the Omnibus VII legislative package, aiming to simplify the EU's digital legislative framework. Simplifying the rules for AI is considered important for the EU's digital sovereignty and strengthening innovation. The Commission proposes adjusting the timetable for the implementation of rules for high-risk AI systems, as well as targeted amendments to the AI Act, such as extending exemptions for SMEs and strengthening the powers of the AI Office.
