What changed
The EU AI Omnibus entered into force. Annex III high-risk-system obligations now apply from 2 December 2027, while high-risk AI embedded in regulated physical products moves to 2 August 2028. The law also expands sandboxes and adjusts selected administrative requirements.
Why it matters
Product and compliance roadmaps based on the previous high-risk deadlines are now outdated, but the wider AI Act and obligations already active still remain.
What to do
Rebaseline EU milestones now, then use the added time to build risk records, logging, evidence collection and conformity preparation for each affected system.
Caveat
The Omnibus changes selected dates and obligations; it does not delay or remove every AI Act requirement. System-specific legal advice is still necessary.
