The EU AI Act's implementation deadline has been postponed to December 2027 for high-risk systems, but procurement teams will not wait—vendors face customer questionnaires demanding compliance evidence regardless of regulatory timelines.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models and AI Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your customers won't wait for the EU regulator. Procurement teams are building compliance questionnaires now, and a delayed legal deadline won't delay the contract renewal conversation—you need evidence ready before December 2027 hits.
