The AI Act has a gradual enforcement timeline, and the majority of its provisions will start applying on 2 August 2026.

The Commission issues guidelines on the classification rules for high-risk AI systems.
Article 6(1) on classification rules for high-risk AI systems and associated obligations becomes applicable.
