The EU's high-risk AI registration database will not launch until mid-to-late 2027, well past the original June 2026 deadline and creating confusion about when companies must actually comply with the AI Act's registration requirements.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models, AI Infrastructure and Generative AI, and 2 sources have reported it.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building high-risk AI systems for the EU, your registration deadline is now legally ambiguous: the database won't exist until Q3 2027, but the registration duty may have already kicked in August 2026. Clarify with your compliance team this week whether you're already late.
