Why the dates changed
The July 2026 omnibus changed the EU AI Act timeline, so much online guidance still shows dates that are out of date. Prohibited practices and the AI literacy duty have applied since 2 February 2025 (Articles 5 and 4). General-purpose AI model obligations followed on 2 August 2025 (Chapter V), and transparency duties on 2 August 2026 (Article 50).
The high-risk duties were deferred, not cancelled. Annex III stand-alone systems move to 2 December 2027, while AI used as a safety component in products covered by Annex I moves to 2 August 2028.
