EU AI Omnibus enters into force
The measure extends selected SME provisions to small mid-cap companies, expands regulatory sandboxes, simplifies AI-literacy and registration duties and revises dates for high-risk AI rules: 2 December 2027 for Annex III systems and 2 August 2028 for product-embedded Annex I systems. It also bans specified applications that generate non-consensual intimate content or child sexual abuse material.
Why it matters: Enterprises now have clearer implementation dates, but simplification is not deregulation. High-risk providers still need evidence, data governance, risk management and post-market processes.
Impact: Compliance road maps, procurement clauses and product classifications should be updated immediately against the final legal text. European Commission
