Postponed deadline as breathing room - not a pause.
The Digital Omnibus shifts Annex III. Use the buffer to enter the audit phase with documentation, training and evidence - instead of improvising under time pressure.

- Transparency & GPAI stay Aug 2026
- Build evidence in a structured way now
Digital Omnibus verschiebt Anhang III auf Dezember 2027. So nutzen Sie den gewonnenen Spielraum für Dokumentation, Schulung und Nachweise - statt unter Zeitdruck zu improvisieren.
When AI speaks, AI must remain recognisable.
Chatbots must disclose themselves, AI-generated content must be labelled. The Code of Practice has been available since June 2026 - a 90-day roadmap is enough if you start now.
- Labelling of AI content
- Chatbot disclosure on first contact
- Code of Practice · June 2026
Ab 2. August 2026: Chatbots müssen sich zu erkennen geben, KI-erzeugte Inhalte sind zu kennzeichnen. Pflichten, Code of Practice (Juni 2026) und 90-Tage-Fahrplan.
What was postponed - and what stays in 2026.
The Omnibus postpones Annex III but leaves prohibitions, GPAI rules and transparency duties from August 2026 unchanged. Separating the two enables realistic planning.
- Prohibitions remain unchanged
- GPAI rules take effect 2025/26
- Annex III: new target horizon Dec 2027
Hochrisiko-Frist nach Anhang III rutscht auf Dez 2027. Verbote, GPAI und Transparenzpflichten ab Aug 2026 bleiben - was das für Ihren Fahrplan heißt.
Four classes - one clear classification logic.
Prohibited, high-risk, transparency-bound, minimal. Understanding the classes answers the most common question before entering the Cockpit: What is my tool, really?
- Prohibitions: social scoring, manipulation
- High-risk: Annex III · Dec 2027
- Transparency: chatbots & AI content
- Minimal: everything else
Verbote, Hochrisiko, Transparenz, minimal - die vier Risikoklassen des EU AI Act mit konkreten Beispielen und Einstufungs-Logik.
AI literacy is a duty - not just a nice-to-have.
Whoever deploys AI must empower the people behind it. Define roles, deliver content, document participation. The course stays standalone - the records belong in the Cockpit.
- Role matrix: who needs what?
- File evidence in a structured way
- Realistic 90-day roadmap
Pflicht seit 02.02.2025: Wer muss geschult werden, welche Inhalte gehören rein, wie weisen Sie es nach - mit Rollen-Matrix und 90-Tage-Fahrplan.
GDPR and AI - six duties, one roadmap.
DPA, confidentiality, DPIA: when AI works inside a law firm, two regimes meet. An audit-oriented vendor check turns fog into a list.

- Keep § 203 German Criminal Code in view
- 5-step roadmap for law firms
