Digital Omnibus on AI amends the AI Act (EU 2024/1689), Regulation 2018/1139, and Regulation 2023/1230 to simplify AI harmonised rules implementation — in force 27 July 2026
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (Digital Omnibus on AI), published 8 July 2026 and entering into force on 27 July 2026, amends the AI Act (EU 2024/1689) alongside two sectoral regulations to reduce implementation complexity for harmonised AI rules. Compliance teams must review how existing AI Act obligations — particularly those already in application or approaching applicability — are modified or streamlined by this amending regulation. Organisations that have built compliance workflows around the unamended AI Act should assess which procedural or substantive requirements have changed before the entry-into-force date.

- Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (aviation safety) is amended in relation to AI provisions, reflecting sector-specific simplification.
- Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 is amended in relation to AI provisions as part of the same simplification package.
- The amending regulation applies across the EEA (Text with EEA relevance).
Who is affected
All operators, providers, importers, and distributors of AI systems subject to the AI Act (EU 2024/1689) across EU/EEA jurisdictions; additionally, entities regulated under Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (aviation) and Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 (machinery) that are affected by AI-related obligations in those sectoral frameworks.
