On July 27, a regulation took effect in Brussels whose only real purpose was to postpone a different European law due to apply six days later.

The law being postponed is the AI Act, passed in 2024 and sold to the world as the first comprehensive rulebook for artificial intelligence. The rescue is Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the Digital Omnibus on AI. It pushes the obligations for high-risk AI systems from Aug. 2, 2026, to Dec. 2, 2027, and for AI built into regulated products to August 2028.
