EU AI Act Omnibus Agreement — Formal Adoption Votes Expected June-July 2026

EU Council·high signal

Following the May 7 political agreement between the EU Council and European Parliament, formal adoption votes on the 'Digital Omnibus' simplification of the AI Act are expected imminently in the June-July 2026 window. Key changes: high-risk AI systems under Annex III must comply by December 2, 2027 (extended from 2026); a new prohibition on AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery was added; and a December 2, 2026 deadline was set for watermarking AI-generated content. Developers building AI products for EU markets need to track these shifting compliance timelines.
