Counts in the visitor’s own time zone and updates itself at midnight. Attribution and “not legal advice” are part of the widget.
02 · The dates
Where the
dates come from.
The AI Omnibus moved the high-risk rules in July 2026. These are the dates since it entered into force on 27 July 2026.

One detail the widget leaves out: for generative AI systems already on the market before 2 August 2026, the Omnibus gives providers a four-month transition for the marking duty in Art. 50(2), to 2 December 2026.

03 · Questions
Before you
embed it.
Short answers. Where something is not decided yet, it says so.
Does it track our visitors?
This prototype of the widget sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. The hosted version: hosting and privacy · to decide
What happens when a date moves?
It has happened once: the AI Omnibus moved the high-risk dates in July 2026. The embedded widget is meant to read its dates from voidgap.com, so one change there reaches every site that embeds it. Until the hosting is decided, that is a plan, not a promise.
Can we change the wording or the colours?
Theme, language and deadline, above. Anything else, write to us.
Can we remove the attribution line?
The line says where the dates come from and that it is not legal advice. Terms of use: to decide
Is this legal advice?
No. It shows dates from the regulation. Which of them apply to you depends on your system and your role; the AI Act classifier gives a first orientation.
Your dates

is yours?
