European Union — Digital Omnibus on AI Regulation (EU) 2026/1744

In force24 July 2026Added 9 November 2026

Issued by European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.

Summary

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the Digital Omnibus on AI, amends the EU AI Act and related product-safety legislation to simplify implementation. It preserves the Act’s general application from 2 August 2026 but defers the principal high-risk system obligations: Annex III systems to 2 December 2027 and product-embedded Annex I systems to 2 August 2028. It also introduces transitional arrangements for Article 50 marking duties and adjusts elements of supervision, enforcement, conformity assessment and regulatory support.

Why it matters

Defers Chapter III Sections 1–3 for Annex III high-risk systems to 2 December 2027 and Annex I product-embedded systems to 2 August 2028; preserves the general application date of 2 August 2026; requires pre-existing generative systems to comply with Article 50(2) by 2 December 2026; applies Articles 102–110 from 27 July 2026.
