AI Act Compliance Clock

The AI Act Compliance Clock sorts out what the Digital Omnibus actually changed. The Omnibus deferred the AI Act's high-risk obligations to fixed dates — Annex III systems and the fundamental-rights impact assessment to 2 December 2027, Annex I embedded systems to 2 August 2028 — but it left most of Article 50 and the onset of GPAI enforcement on the original date of 2 August 2026, and it added a new Article 5 prohibition on NCII / CSAM generation from 2 December 2026. The page lays this out as one revised timeline, with the superseded dates struck through, plus an at-a-glance summary of what moved, what is unchanged, what is new, and what was merely softened. At its centre is a five-question checker against Article 50 as amended — provider and deployer duties for chatbots, synthetic content, emotion recognition, deepfakes and public-interest text — that tells you which of the four transparency duties bite, and lets you print the result as a memo. It is a screening aid, not legal advice, and it runs entirely in the browser: nothing you answer is sent anywhere.

• A revised post-Omnibus timeline with superseded AI Act dates struck through
• An at-a-glance split: moved, unchanged, newly added, and softened obligations
• A live countdown to the unchanged 2 August 2026 deadline
• A five-question Article 50 checker covering the provider and deployer transparency duties
• A printable memo of the checker result for the file
• Sourced to the regulation and the Omnibus proposal, with a verify-against-EUR-Lex caveat
• Fully browser-based — nothing you enter leaves the page

When the Digital Omnibus moved the EU AI Act's high-risk dates, the headline was "the AI Act is delayed" — but that is only half true. Article 50's transparency duties for new systems, the start of the Commission's fining powers over GPAI providers, and the national penalty regimes all still apply from 2 August 2026, and the Omnibus even added a new prohibited practice. A firm that reads the delay as a general reprieve can miss obligations that are only weeks away. This tool separates what moved from what did not, in one revised timeline, and turns the Article 50 question into a short, concrete self-check with a memo at the end — so a team can tell quickly whether the nearest deadline is theirs to meet.
