EU's AI Regulations Face Implementation Delay Due to Regulatory Hurdles and Investment Shortfalls, Warns Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen

Published on 6.12.25

  The European Union's (EU) efforts to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) are facing potential delays due to regulatory hurdles and a lack of investment in the field. This is according to Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen, who expressed concerns that the AI Act standards may not be ready in time for implementation. The EU's world-first rules aim to minimize the harmful effects of AI and will come into effect over the next year and a half, with key dates set for August 2025 and 2026. The EU's AI Act standards are crucial in establishing guidelines for the responsible use of AI, including measures to prevent bias and ensure transparency. If these standards are not ready on time, it may lead to a postponement of certain parts of the regulations. This could have significant implications for businesses and individuals relying on AI technology.
