The Munich Eye reports that Brussels is moving forward with a streamlined version of its AI legislation, aiming to reduce compliance burdens without undermining ethical and human rights principles. The simplification targets low-risk AI systems and startups, encouraging innovation while maintaining regulatory clarity for high-risk applications.

The revised framework includes clearer definitions, simpler documentation requirements, and reduced pre-market obligations for non-sensitive AI deployments. The strategy intends to accelerate adoption while still protecting users from potential harms.

This approach follows a wave of industry feedback suggesting that the original AI Act was too complex and could deter tech development in Europe.
