THE CLAIM. the EU's Digital Omnibus makes 'targeted amendments' to the AI Act, part of a broader push to cut red tape and simplify EU law. THE CHECK: Annex III high-risk system obligations, the expensive ones requiring conformity assessment and oversight infrastructure, moved from August 2026 to December 2027, a 16-month delay. Article 50 chatbot and deepfake disclosure rules, cheap to implement, stayed on the original schedule. Industry associations had lobbied for a delay in this range, citing implementation costs. THE TWIST: on the same day this issue closes, the European Commission designated ChatGPT a VLOSE under the separate Digital Services Act, citing more than 45 million EU monthly users, showing the enforcement machinery works fine when the obligation is cheap to apply.
