The European Commission has published a report, prepared by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) for the EU AI Office, analysing stakeholder feedback from two recent public consultations. These consultations focused on two AI Act regulatory obligations – the definition of AI systems and prohibited AI practices – which have been in application since 2 February 2025. The Commission drew on both these public consultations and other sources of feedback to draft its non-binding guidelines on prohibited practices and definition of AI systems, aimed at assisting providers and stakeholders in the effective application of the AI Act. The reports note that (1) stakeholders have called for clearer definitions of technical terms such as “adaptiveness” and “autonomy”, cautioning against the risk of inadvertently regulating conventional software; and (2) prohibited practices – such as emotion recognition, social scoring, and real-time biometric identification – occasion significant concern, with stakeholders calling for concrete examples of what is prohibited and what not.
