The package defers the compliance date for high-risk AI systems used in education to 2 December 2027, resetting the planning horizon for European higher education institutions. The agreement also introduces a ban on nudification apps. Animation programs and institutions in EU member states should treat this as the operative compliance timeline, noting that it remains subject to formal adoption.}, keywords = {institutional-policy, generative-ai, sector-guidance}, note = {AI \& Animation Education Knowledge Base} }
