In our previous article, Digital Omnibus Regulation Proposal, we examined the Commission’s proposal published on 19 November 2025 (the “GDPR Omnibus”). On the same day, the Commission introduced a complementary initiative, the Digital Omnibus on AI Regulation Proposal (the “AI Omnibus”). This second proposal forms part of the broader Digital Omnibus Package and specifically targets the streamlining, clarification and practical refinement of the interpretation and implementation of the AI Act.
The AI Act, which came into force on the 13th June 2024, was met with criticism for hurdles and unrealistic deadlines, especially for high-risk AI-systems (HRAI). The Commission now seeks to, rather than give a complete revamp, repeal or otherwise reform, as it did with the GDPR Omnibus, it merely seeks to amend the AI Act, keeping the same considerations and goal intact.
