Asanify·medium signal

The EU AI Act's high-risk AI hiring compliance deadline of August 2, 2026 faces potential delay to December 2, 2027 under the European Commission's Digital Omnibus proposal. The proposal hasn't been adopted, with final discussions not expected before mid-2026. HR teams and AI vendors building hiring tools are caught in regulatory limbo — investing in compliance for a deadline that may not hold.
