The compliance deadlines for the European Union's (EU) new cross-sector legislation on artificial intelligence (AI) have been revised following a delay in publication, notwithstanding that the text is settled.

EU officials have recently confirmed to Osborne Clarke that the final step in this process – the publication of the definitive text in the EU's Official Journal – has been delayed until mid-July, with some commentators suggesting 12 July.

Late summer 2024

The AI Act will become binding law 20 days after it is published in the Official Journal; because of the publication delay, this is now expected to be in early August.

The delay will allow businesses more time to understand and digest upcoming compliance obligations as well as forthcoming guidance from the AI Office.
