Brussels hits pause on the AI Act's toughest rules - but not all of them
Under the 'Digital Omnibus' deal reached on 7 May 2026, the EU agreed to postpone the AI Act's high-risk obligations - to December 2027 for standalone systems and August 2028 for AI built into products - while transparency rules still take effect on 2 August 2026. In Luxembourg, draft law 8476 hands the lead enforcement role to the CNPD.
