When will the EU AI Act come into effect?

The AI Act will become fully applicable in 2026 (except for a few provisions) with a phased enforcement timeline that began on August 1, 2024. Various provisions came into effect after their effective date. Provisions on prohibited AI practices came into effect in February 2025, with various other obligations and chapters coming into effect gradually in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

Which AI systems are considered high-risk?

High-risk AI systems include any AI systems that pose significant impacts on health, safety, or fundamental rights. These include AI used in critical infrastructure, medical devices, law enforcement, recruitment, education, and financial services. Any providers or deployers of such systems must adhere to the requirements related to risk management, data governance, transparency, and human oversight.

How will the EU AI Act be enforced?

The newly created European AI Office will oversee the enforcement of the AI Act. This office will work with the various supervisory authorities in the EU member states and coordinate efforts related to compliance, audits, investigation of violations, and future recommendations.

What penalties exist for non-compliance?

Non-compliance with the AI Act can result in fines of up to €35 million or 7% of a company's annual turnover, whichever is higher. The penalties are tiered based on the severity of the violation. Violations of prohibited AI practices carry the highest penalties, while non-compliance with other obligations (such as those for high-risk systems) can result in fines up to €15 million or 3% of global turnover. Providing incorrect information to authorities carries the lowest penalties, up to €7.5 million or 1% of global turnover.
