The EU AI Omnibus: What Changes, What Doesn't, and Why You Shouldn't Wait

The EU is rewriting its AI rulebook — again. The Digital Omnibus on AI proposes to delay high-risk AI deadlines, simplify SME compliance, and amend everything from AI literacy obligations to sensitive data processing. But with razor-thin legislative timelines and 450+ amendments still in play, organizations face a real question: do you wait for clarity, or start building now? In this live panel from March 11, 2026, Modulos CEO Kevin Schawinski brings together three experts who were deeply involved in shaping and implementing the AI Act:

Laura Caroli — Former EU AI Act negotiator, now tracking the Omnibus from Brussels Peter Hense — Founder of Spirit Legal, 20 years in digital technology law Patrick Sullivan — VP of Strategy & Innovation at A-LIGN, specializing in AI governance and ISO 42001

They cover: → Where the Omnibus stands legislatively (spoiler: it's down to the wire) → The new high-risk deadlines: Dec 2027 for Annex III, Aug 2028 for regulated products → Why the grandfathering clause in Article 111 is a loophole worth understanding → The controversial move to allow sensitive personal data for bias detection → ISO 42001 as your best starting point — regardless of what Brussels decides → Why "wait and see" is the highest-risk strategy of all Hosted by Modulos AG (https://modulos.ai) — Europe's first ISO 42001-certified AI governance platform.
