The Deadline
Why "we'll deal with it later" is the most expensive plan
Almost every organisation agrees, in principle, that its AI and data should sit on infrastructure it controls. Almost none of them have put a date on making that true.
The Deadline
The date to put on your calendar: 2 December 2027
The EU AI Act's high-risk obligations were pushed back, not cancelled. That gives organisations a real window to prepare, which is a reason to start now, not a reason to wait.
About this journal
Scheduled is an independent journal about timing: when organisations actually need to move off cloud AI onto infrastructure they control, what triggers that decision, and what it costs to leave it for later. It is edited by Micky Irons, founder of the British sovereign-AI company Mickai, and that relationship is stated plainly wherever Mickai is discussed.

Forget waiting for a crisis to force the decision. The date already on your calendar, your next cloud AI contract renewal, is the natural trigger to plan the move.

The Deadline
How long does it actually take to move off cloud AI? A realistic timeline
Not a weekend, and not two years either. A practical, phase-by-phase view of what moving to a sovereign, self-owned AI setup actually involves, so the schedule can be built on fact rather than guesswork.
