Delegated powers and co-regulation let the AI Act evolve over time.
The EU AI Act is not rigid and set in stone forever. We have more empowerment through what we call Delegated and Implementing Acts. The executive, the European Commission, is empowered to take certain measures if necessary. For example, we have a threshold of 10 to the 25 flops for models. If the Commission feels overwhelmed or there are too few models in scope, we can change the threshold up or down. We can provide guidance and change it. A large part is co-regulation, working with standardization organizations and stakeholders to flesh this out in a way that makes sense.
