… legislated The EU Digital Omnibus on AI completed the EU legislative process: the European Parliament voted 16 June 2026 (423 to 57, 174 abstentions) and the Council of the EU formally adopted the Omnibus on 29 June 2026. Official Journal publication is pending (expected July 2026); entry into force is three days after publication. Revised deadlines are now definitively legislated — no longer provisional: - High-risk standalone AI (Annex III): 2 December 2027 - High-risk AI embedded in regulated products (Annex I): 2 August 2028 - Watermarking and NCII/CSAM prohibition: 2 December 2026 - AI regulatory sandboxes: 2 August 2027 All "provisional" and "pending formal adoption" language has been updated to reflect confirmed legislative status. The callout box, executive snapshot, evolving-landscape note, status text, What to Do bullets, and summary table have all been updated.
