EU AI Act resources

My key EU AI Act resources:

  1. Linkable EU AI Act, where you can visit/link directly to the text of specific Articles/Recitals etc: bit.ly/eu-aiact (see that link for instructions)

  2. EU AI Act scope - diagrams on roles bit.ly/eu-aiactscope

  3. Timeline bit.ly/eu-aiacttimeline and commencement dates bit.ly/eu-aiactdates

  4. My AI jargon-busting demystifying video on basic technical AI/machine learning concepts, to help AI literacy bit.ly/aijargon
  5. Key supply chain/value chain terms/relationships (AI model, AI system, provider, deployer) under the AI Act: bit.ly/eu-aiact-supplychain

  6. Flowchart on automated decision-making (ADM) under the EU GDPR (NB pre-the UK Data (Use & Access) Act 2025)
Obviously the Digital Omnibus on AI, under the EU Digital Simplification package (press release), proposes to amend the AI Act.

But generally it won't change the above overviews, except commencement timings (and AI literacy obligations). And of course it's not been passed yet, though it's getting there. For ease of ref:

  1. European Parliament's news release 18 Mar 2026 and its MEP-approved text

  2. Council of the European Union's press release 13 Mar 2026 and Council's text

  3. European Commission's original draft amendments to the AI Act: Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulations (EU) 2024/1689 and (EU) 2018/1139 as regards the simplification of the implementation of harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (Digital Omnibus on AI), COM/2025/836 final

👀Let's see how the negotiations go!

Recall: even UK and other non-EU providers and deployers (users) of AI systems may be caught by the AI Act. May I repeat my AI Act jurisdiction song...

🧑‍🌾Old MacDonald had a thought, EU AI O!
Could AI Act apply or not? EU AI O!
If his output's used in the EU, yes>
Many other aspects extraterritorial
Old MacDonald, check your role(s)! EU AI O!
