AI Act: postponed? Not the way you think.

The Digital Omnibus (EU) 2026/1744 has pushed high-risk obligations back to 2027–2028. But since 2 August 2026, authorities have held their sanctioning powers, and transparency is mandatory. “It's been postponed” is the most expensive phrase in your boardroom.
