Simplification of the AI Act and Ban on “Undressing” Apps in the EU

The European Parliament supported the AI Act simplification. This is an important change for digital regulation. The vote passed with 423 against 57. 174 deputies abstained. Amendments were adopted under the Digital Omnibus package. This will simplify the application of the artificial intelligence law.

Delayed Requirements for High-Risk Systems

The application of requirements for high-risk AI systems is postponed. This concerns two categories of systems.

The implementation deadlines are as follows:

• Until December 2, 2027, for autonomous systems.
• Until August 2, 2028, for safety component systems.

The second case concerns systems embedded in products. They fall under EU sectoral legislation.

Requirements for Content Labeling

Requirements for labeling AI-generated content are also delayed. This will give companies time to prepare.

The new labeling deadlines are as follows: Until December 2, 2026, for systems released before August 2, 2026.

Ban on “Undressing” Applications

The European Union introduced a strict ban. It concerns certain types of AI applications.

The ban covers the following categories:

• Child sexual abuse materials.
• Intimate images without the consent of the depicted person.
• Applications creating “undressing” images.

This is the first direct ban of this kind in the EU. It protects the right to privacy.

Compliance Deadlines

Companies must fulfill these requirements. The final deadline is December 2, 2026.

Companies have time to adapt and must take the following actions:

• Remove prohibited applications.
• Update moderation policies.
• Implement violation detection systems.

Non-compliance will lead to serious fines.

Conclusion

The European Parliament Simplification of the AI Act. But the requirements remain strict. The ban on “undressing” applications takes effect on December 2, 2026. Companies should use the postponement wisely. Early preparation reduces fine risks. The AI Act shapes the future of AI regulation.
