EU AI Act amendments, Omnibus reforms, DMA/DSA antitrust
Key Questions
What key changes do the March 2026 EU AI Act amendments introduce?
The amendments expand requirements around transparency, metadata, bias mitigation, and watermarking for AI systems. They also address agentic AI and safety components through new draft guidelines on high-risk classification under Annex III.
How does the Digital Omnibus reform impact existing EU regulations?
It simplifies compliance obligations under both GDPR and the AI Act. The reform aims to reduce regulatory overlap while maintaining core protections.
What is the EU Commission's new initiative on copyright and AI?
The Commission launched a call for evidence on copyright and AI, planning a targeted initiative that addresses both training and inference uses. This approach risks creating incoherent legislation across different AI applications.
