Text: Official Journal of the EU, 12 July 2024. No consolidated version reflecting Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 has been issued yet.

Amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 Paragraph 2 rewritten (the fixed date of 2 August 2026 replaced by a reference to the date Chapter III becomes applicable) and a new paragraph 4 added (older generative systems to comply with Art. 50(2) by 2 December 2026).

Commentary

A high-risk system placed on the market before the obligations took effect is brought into line only on a significant change to its design. Public authorities always bring theirs into line, at the latest by 2 August 2030. Large-scale EU information systems under Annex X placed before 2 August 2027 by 31 December 2030. General-purpose models placed before 2 August 2025 by 2 August 2027. A new paragraph 4, inserted by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, gives generative systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026 until 2 December 2026 to comply with Article 50(2).
