EU AI Omnibus second political trilogue scheduled for April 28, may reach deal to delay EU AI Act high-risk obligations by up to two years

2026-04-27 01:11

The European Parliament and Council of the EU hold the second political trilogue on the Digital Omnibus on AI on April 28, with both institutions broadly aligned and a political agreement possible. The core change under negotiation is extending the compliance deadline for stand-alone high-risk AI systems from August 2026 to December 2027, and for high-risk systems embedded in regulated products to August 2028 — delays of 16 and 24 months respectively. If a deal is reached, formal adoption is expected by July, just before the original August 2 deadline; the Omnibus also proposes simplified SME documentation, a targeted ban on nonconsensual intimate deepfakes, and GDPR data-sharing reforms.
