The European Commission is not considering a so-called “stop the clock”, or a pause, of the implementation phase of the AI Act, a Commission official told EU lawmakers on Monday, despite a growing chorus of recent calls for it to do so.
“There is not going to be an overall moratorium on the AI Act. That is not on the table. We are focussing on making the rules work in practice,” Yvo Volman, director for data at the Commission, told the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) during a hearing on Monday.
