European Commission proposes Digital Omnibus adjustments to AI Act timelines
Concerns EU AI Act
What changed?
The Commission proposed a "Digital Omnibus" package that would, among other changes, link the application of certain high-risk obligations to the availability of standards and support tools, with later backstop dates. This is a proposal and requires adoption by the European Parliament and Council.
What does it mean in practice?
High-risk timelines may move; organisations should keep planning against Article 113 dates until an amendment is adopted.
