EU AI Act amendments extend compliance deadlines by 18 months to two years for high-risk AI systems, expand prohibited systems to include non-consensual intimate media, soften AI literacy requirements, and clarify bias detection rules for providers and deployers.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
High-risk AI compliance in Europe has shifted 18 months to two years right, but synthetic media transparency rules land in four months—and the ban on non-consensual intimate content takes effect in December 2026. You have room to rebuild your compliance stack for core systems, but synthetic generation features face an immediate hard stop unless you ship transparency controls now.
