Digital Omnibus on AI

This EU Regulation amends several aspects of the EU AI Act. The provisions governing the high-risk AI systems listed in Annex III of the AI Regulation and those governing AI systems embedded in products, for example, will now not apply until 2 December 2027 and 2 August 2028 respectively.

An amendment presented at short notice and that long remained contentious was that in future, requirements concerning high-risk AI systems in machinery should be set out solely in the Machinery Regulation. To this end, the Commission is to lay down health and safety requirements for machinery that concern AI in a delegated act.

Furthermore, the Digital Omnibus on AI introduces new obligations for the marking of content generated by AI, and also a ban on applications that create non-consensual intimate material (“nudification applications”).
