A new video from CRIDS, Université de Namur, explains the summer 2026 amendments to the AI Act and what they mean in practice.
The AI Act has been amended. In summer 2026, the Omnibus AI brought changes to the regulation, and a new video from CRIDS, Université de Namur, explains what they mean in practice. The video is a follow-up to the “11 Shades of AI Act” series that CERTAINTY has supported since 2024.
The video explains the background to the reform and covers AI literacy, the new possibility to process sensitive data to detect and correct bias, and two new prohibited practices. It also looks at how high-risk systems are classified when they are safety components of products, and at the postponed deadlines for high-risk obligations. Further topics include the relationship between the AI Act and other EU texts, cooperation along the AI value chain, conformity assessments, and enforcement. The video closes with the questions the Omnibus leaves open.
The full video is available on YouTube, and a short teaser gives an overview in under a minute. Viewers new to the topic can start with the earlier episodes, which are all available in the full series.
