The EU AI Act's penalty provisions for General-Purpose AI (GPAI) model providers under Article 101 become enforceable on August 2, 2026. Under these rules, the European Commission can impose fines up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher, for non-compliance with GPAI transparency and cooperation obligations. Only the Commission (not national authorities) may impose these fines. The Commission published a draft implementing regulation on March 12, 2026 detailing investigation procedures and penalty enforcement mechanisms for GPAI model providers.
