The EU AI Act standalone Annex III high-risk compliance deadline takes effect on 2 December 2027 without further delay.
The compliance deadline for standalone high-risk systems under Annex III was pushed to December 2, 2027 via Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. The milestone requires covered systems to satisfy strict conformity assessments.
Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel leans yes: the median is 67%.
They do not agree: DeepSeek puts it at 88% and GPT at 57%, 31 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.
Nothing is settled until 13 Sept 2029, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.
