AI Act: the Digital Omnibus on AI delays high-risk obligations

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 entered into force on 27 July 2026. Obligations for Annex III high-risk AI systems (recruitment, credit and others) move from 2 August 2026 to 2 December 2027, and those for Annex I regulated products to 2 August 2028. Article 50 transparency obligations apply since 2 August 2026, with until 2 December 2026 for marking content generated by systems already on the market.

What it means: more time for high-risk systems, but not for transparency. HR and fintech companies using AI in hiring or credit decisions should use the delay to map their systems.
