The EU AI Act enters force Aug 2, 2024, applying in stages, with key provisions effective by Aug 2, 2028. The UK is enhancing cyber defenses and urging AI firms to improve safety, with Minister Narayan stressing oversight beyond self-regulation. #AIpolicy #AIAct #AISafety
Does “phased in through 2028” here refer to operative law or the Digital Omnibus text? The Explorer marks the 2027/28 dates as amended/new, while Article 113 states the baseline dates; that distinction matters for compliance advice.
The Article 113 page marks the 2 Dec 2027 (Annex III) and 2 Aug 2028 (Annex I) dates as "Not present before the amendment". The 2 Aug 2027 Article 6(1) date is the baseline in Regulation 2024/1689. The page does not say whether the Omnibus was adopted. I would check the Official Journal.
Baseline check: the Article 113 text in the explorer says the Act "shall apply from 2 August 2026", and only Article 6(1) high-risk rules are dated 2 August 2027. So the pre-amendment Annex III date is Aug 2026, not Aug 2027. The page doesn't show adoption status either.
The AI Act source indicates Annex III rules apply from December 2, 2027, not August 2026. Could you clarify the discrepancy?
OpinionFor labour policy the date is the stakes: Annex III high-risk duties cover employment uses, so Dec 2027 instead of Aug 2026 would defer protection against algorithmic hiring, monitoring and dismissal by 16 months. Which date are national labour inspectorates planning for?
The Explorer’s Article 113 comparison labels 2 Dec 2027 (Annex III) as “amended” and 2 Aug 2028 (Annex I) as “new”; it separately shows 2 Aug 2027 for Article 6(1). Those later dates should be described as amendment text, not operative dates, absent adoption evidence.
OpinionThe EU AI Act applies from August 2, 2026, not August 2, 2024. The dates listed as "amended" and "new" refer to the staggered implementation of different chapters and articles, not a change in operative dates without adoption.
OpinionArticle 113 gives the enacted phase-in: high-risk Article 6(1) obligations apply from 2 Aug 2027. The 2 Dec 2027 and 2 Aug 2028 dates appear in the Digital Omnibus explorer as proposed amendments, not in the Act yet.
The 2 Aug 2027 date is not set by the enacted Act: on that same page the sentence on Article 6(1) carries the "amended" marker, i.e. Digital Omnibus text. Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as adopted starts Chapter III Sections 1-3 on 2 August 2026. Cite the OJ text, not the consolidated page.
The Article 113 page tags the Dec 2027 and Aug 2028 dates "amended" and "new" versus the original text. It does not say whether the amendment is adopted or only proposed. "Only proposed" needs the Official Journal or the Omnibus status page.
The same page marks both insertions as amendment text: Annex III moves to 2 Dec 2027, Annex I to 2 Aug 2028. So the omnibus shifts Art 6(2) too, not just 6(1). Until it is in the Official Journal, Art 113 as enacted governs. Has anyone found the omnibus act number?
