Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 governs AI by risk tier and has applied in phases since 1 August 2024. Prohibited-practice bans and AI-literacy duties have applied since 2 February 2025, and general-purpose AI obligations since 2 August 2025. The Digital Omnibus on AI (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force 27 July 2026) postponed the high-risk system obligations: Annex III high-risk systems (risk management, data governance, human oversight, technical documentation) now apply from 2 December 2027, and high-risk AI embedded in regulated products (Annex I) from 2 August 2028. Article 50 transparency duties — chatbot disclosure, synthetic-media marking, deepfake and emotion-recognition notices — still took effect 2 August 2026 (with a marking grace period to 2 December 2026 for systems placed on the market before that date). Penalties reach €35M or 7% of global annual turnover for prohibited practices, and €15M or 3% for transparency violations.
