Microsoft President Brad Smith said the EU should reconsider its AI law. Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis called the law outdated. EU officials insist the 2023 AI Act is strong enough for current risks. The law barely mentions AI agents, now driving most EU AI workflows. Hungary identified three gaps in the Act. One gap covers internal model use before market placement. Another concerns transparency on model training and testing. A third involves liability for harm caused by AI agents. The EU already amended the law once in 2026. Some governments say more updates are needed to keep pace.
