AI Act: Leadings MEPs want to expand Commission's revision powers

The European Parliament's co-rapporteurs of the AI Act have proposed expanding the European Commission's revision powers to extend the list of high-risk systems and prohibited practices at a later stage. The eighth batch of compromise amendments on the proposed Artificial Intelligence regulation was shared by leading lawmakers Dragoș Tudorache and Brando Benifei with the representatives of the other political groups last Friday (21 October). The AI Act is a flagship legislative proposal to regulate the development, deployment and use of artificial intelligence. The co-rapporteurs are currently trying to reach a common position with the other political groups, pitching several significant changes to the original wording. The most relevant amendment would significantly extend the Commission's revision powers after the legislation becomes effective.
