EU Parliament Approves AI Act Omnibus: High-risk delay, nudifier ban

On 16 June 2026, the European Parliament gave final approval to the Digital Omnibus on AI by 423-57-174, sending the AI Act amendment to the Council for formal adoption. 1 2

Swipe 1 — the alert: Parliament approved a simplification package that keeps the AI Act's risk-based architecture but moves several compliance dates and adds a ban targeting AI nudifier and child sexual abuse material generation systems. 1

Swipe 2 — the deadline reset: Stand-alone high-risk AI systems move to 2 Dec 2027; safety-component AI covered by EU product safety rules moves to 2 Aug 2028; machine-readable labelling for AI-generated content moves to 2 Dec 2026. Most AI Act provisions still start on 2 Aug 2026. 1

Swipe 3 — who is hit: AI providers and deployers need controls for content labels and banned nudifier/CSAM uses. Manufacturers get a narrower safety-component trigger. SMEs and small mid-caps get expanded exemptions. The EU AI Office gets streamlined enforcement over certain GPAI systems. 1

Watch next: The package is not in force yet. The next step is formal Council adoption. 1
