NeuralStackMeta Takes Ofcom to Court as EU Softens High-Risk AI Act Timeline
Meta has launched a judicial review against UK regulator Ofcom over how fees and fines are calculated under the Online Safety Act. On the continent, EU negotiators struck a provisional deal to push back key high-risk AI Act obligations by roughly 16 months and tighten rules on sexual image generation and watermarking. The twin moves show tech giants and lawmakers are still wrestling over who pays for AI safety and how fast strict rules should bite.
AI Law Radar Log Shows Regulators Sharpen Focus on Deepfakes, Algorithms and Grace Periods
