AI Deadline | Thursday 30April 2026
Things moving through AI regulatory pipelines that will matter in the next 3 to 6 months
🔴 Act now
The Digital Omnibus deal failed Monday night after twelve hours of negotiations in Brussels. The political agreement that would have formally delayed the EU AI Act’s Annex III high-risk deadline from August 2, 2026, to December 2027 did not happen. The next trilogue is on May 13. Nothing has changed legally, which means everything founders were hoping would change has not.
There’s a specific thing to understand here. The Omnibus was always about two separate issues running in parallel, and the failure hits them differently.
The first is GPAI enforcement.
