What it is

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (Digital Omnibus on AI)

Amends the AI Act and gives the AI Office direct supervision of SI systems built on a general purpose model by the same provider and of SI systems in very large online platforms and search engines.

• Delays high-risk obligations for Annex I product components to August 2, 2028
• Gives the AI Office information, inspection, binding commitment and fining powers (Articles 75a to 75c)
• Gives generative systems placed on the market before August 2, 2026 until December 2, 2026 to meet output marking duties
• Does not delay the general purpose model obligations or their August 2, 2026 enforcement start

Penalties
