The EU AI Act obligations timeline
A one-page PDF of what is in force now and what moves to 2027 and 2028, with the article behind each line.
What's in it
- What is in force now: prohibited practices and AI literacy since 2 February 2025, general-purpose AI models since 2 August 2025, transparency since 2 August 2026.
- What moves out to 2 December 2027: the stand-alone high-risk obligations in Annex III.
- What moves out to 2 August 2028: the product-embedded high-risk obligations under Annex I.
- The article and annex behind each line, and the scope pointer to Article 2.
- The dated accuracy stamp: checked against Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.
Every line on it comes from the EU AI Act timeline, which sets out what the omnibus moved and what it left alone. Whether any of it reaches your organisation is a separate question, and the EU AI Act check works that out for the systems you name.
