EU AI Act enforcement begins with fines up to 3% of global revenue

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

From 2 August, the European Commission's AI Office and national authorities enforce the AI Act, with fines reaching €35m or 3% of global revenue and a 38-person enforcement team stood up in Brussels. The rules reach well beyond model makers to companies deploying AI, and the Act also bans tools built to mass-produce non-consensual sexual imagery, including nudify apps and deepfake generators.
