The European Commission came under scrutiny on November 7, 2025, amid reports of a possible revision of its landmark "AI Act." According to Reuters (citing the Financial Times), the EU is considering temporarily pausing certain provisions of the law. This comes amid significant pressure from major US tech companies (Big Tech) and the US government, who argue the law is too burdensome and will stifle innovation. The decision to pause could be included in a broader package of "digital regulation simplification" measures.
