After two failed trilogues, the European Parliament and Council have reached a political agreement on the so-called AI Omnibus, which includes amendments to the bloc’s flagship Artificial Intelligence Act and a ban on non-consensual intimate imagery. The agreement postpones the high-risk compliance deadline for December 2027, reduces paperwork requirements for smaller firms, and provides a long-awaited ban on nudification apps. The most politically charged element is a new prohibition on AI systems that generate child sexual abuse material or produce non-Consensual intimate images of identifiable individuals. The deal allows companies to focus on building, not paperwork, and is seen as proof that Europe can maintain its rules-based approach. Critics argue that the simplification narrative obscures significant cuts in fundamental-rights protection, particularly around biometric identification and AI in schools. The final approval of the agreement still needs to be made by the Council before summer recess.
