In the vacuum, AI providers are defining their own interpretations of requirements like accuracy, fairness, and robustness, increasing compliance risk and documentation costs for practitioners.", "body_md": "Editorial analysis: For practitioners, unclear external standards raise compliance risk and increase the cost of demonstrating safety and fairness; teams should expect to spend more effort documenting definitions and tests. According to Just Security, public standard-setting bodies have not produced the harmonized technical standards envisioned by the **EU AI Act**, and the bodies missed an **August 2025** deadline. Just Security reports that the European Commission proposed staggering parts of the Act's application into **2027** and **2028**.
