Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the Digital Omnibus on AI, entered into force on 27 July 2026 and moves the AI Act deadline for Annex III high-risk systems from August 2026 to 2 December 2027, with Annex I embedded systems following in August 2028. Article 50 transparency still applies from 2 August 2026, a new prohibition arrives with a December 2026 marking deadline, and a phased 16-month plan turns the reprieve into a workable compliance programme.

On 15 June 2026 IMY confirmed its role as market surveillance authority for the EU AI Act, with responsibility covering AI systems in areas such as law enforcement and credit assessment, alongside PTS and Finansinspektionen.
