§ 2

How it decides

What applies to you depends on your role, how the system is used and the date each part of the Regulation takes effect.

Your role

The Regulation allocates obligations by role. A provider develops a system and places it on the market under its own name, and a deployer uses it under its own authority (Article 3). If you put your name on someone else's high-risk system, modify it substantially or change its purpose until it becomes high-risk, you take on the provider's obligations (Article 25).

How the system is used

Some practices are prohibited (Article 5). Talking to people or generating synthetic content triggers duties to disclose and mark (Article 50). Annex III uses, such as recruitment or creditworthiness, are high-risk unless the system only prepares or improves human work and does not profile people (Article 6(3)).

The date

Each part has its own date (Article 113, as amended by Regulation 2026/1744). AI literacy and the prohibitions have applied since 2 February 2025, general-purpose models since 2 August 2025 and transparency since 2 August 2026. Two new prohibitions arrive on 2 December 2026, and high-risk obligations on 2 December 2027 or 2 August 2028. The tool compares each date with today's.

Questions

What people ask us about this tool

What did the Digital Omnibus change in the AI Act timeline?

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force since 27 July 2026, moved high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027 (Annex III) and 2 August 2028 (Annex I), added two prohibitions that apply from 2 December 2026 and gave generative systems already on the market until that same date to mark their output (Article 111(4)). The Article 50 transparency duties have applied since 2 August 2026.

Do I still have to train my team on AI?

Yes. Article 4, as reworded, requires providers and deployers to take measures that support the AI literacy of the people operating their systems, in line with their background and the context of use. It no longer requires a specific level for each person.

Can an Annex III system fall outside high risk?

Yes, when it does not materially influence the decision (Article 6(3)). A system that profiles people is always high-risk. A provider relying on the exemption must document its assessment before placing the system on the market and register it (Articles 6(4) and 49(2)).

What fines does the AI Act set?

Up to €35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for prohibited practices. Breaches of provider, deployer or transparency obligations carry up to €15 million or 3%. SMEs face the lower of the two figures (Article 99).
