AI Act: obligations in force and delays under omnibus 2026/1744
The EU AI Act has obligations now in force, while a new omnibus regulation — 2026/1744 — is introducing delays to certain requirements. The changes affect how and when AI rules will practically apply to organizations operating under EU law.
Why this matters: If your organization is tracking EU AI Act compliance, the timeline just shifted. Some obligations are live now. Others have been pushed back under the omnibus package. That sounds administrative, but it matters in practice: deadlines determine when companies must act, and delays can mean less accountability in the short term. Know which rules apply to you today and which have breathing room, because the two are no longer the same list.
