The dates referenced in this whitepaper reflect the timeline set out in the original EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).
On 7 May 2026, the European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional political agreement on amendments to the AI Act under the so called Digital Omnibus on AI. These amendments are not yet legally binding and remain subject to finalization of the legal text, formal adoption by both co legislators, and publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
While the existing AI Act timeline therefore remains the only legally applicable framework at present, the provisional agreement provides a clear indication of the expected direction of travel and should be used for planning purposes.
In particular, the Omnibus agreement is expected to defer key compliance deadlines, most notably:
- obligations for Annex III high risk AI systems to 2 December 2027 (previously 2 August 2026);
- obligations for high risk AI systems embedded in regulated products to 2 August 2028 (previously 2 August 2027); and
- certain transparency obligations (article 50) to 2 December 2026.
Formal adoption and publication are expected likely around July, after which the amended timeline would become legally effective.
