What you'll learn

Know exactly what's live on August 2 and what's not

Get the real timeline: which obligations take effect, which got delayed by the Omnibus, and which deadlines still apply.

Find out if you're in scope (hint: you probably are)

Providers, deployers, importers: learn who the Act applies to, including organizations outside the EU with EU exposure.

Spot the three obligations most organizations missed.

Transparency, AI literacy, and GPAI rules are NOT delayed. Walk away knowing what you need to address before August 2.

Why this topic matters

The EU AI Act was "delayed" is the headline most people heard. Here is what they missed: transparency, AI literacy, and general-purpose AI rules take effect August 2, 2026, as scheduled. If you deploy AI in or touching the EU, these apply to you now. Not next year. Not when the high-risk rules kick in. Now. In 45 minutes, get the real picture and a free checklist to assess your exposure.
