   The article treats 'August 2026' as the date the EU AI Act's high-risk/profiling obligations (Annex III) become enforceable. In May 2026 the EU Council, Parliament and Commission reached a provisional Digital Omnibus agreement postponing Annex III high-risk AI system obligations from 2 August 2026 to 2 December 2027. Only the Article 50 transparency obligations (disclosure of AI interactions, synthetic-content labelling) still take effect in August 2026, not the conformity-assessment/high-risk obligations the article describes for lead-scoring tools. Same outdated-deadline issue: the Digital Omnibus agreement (May 2026) pushed Annex III high-risk AI obligations to December 2027, so framing the vendor-switch trigger around 'the August 2026 AI Act enforcement phase' is no longer accurate.

   Before

   The August 2026 enforcement phase requires conformity assessments and transparency obligations for tools in scope.

   After

   Conformity-assessment and transparency obligations for high-risk AI systems (including profiling/lead-scoring tools) are being phased in through 2026-2027; exhibitors should confirm the current enforcement timeline directly, since the EU has revised these deadlines since the Act's original text.
