The EU AI Act's enforcement powers against GPAI model providers will come into full force on August 2, 2026, marking the most operationally demanding deadline under Regulation 2024/1689. While GPAI model obligations took effect on August 2, 2025, providers were given a one-year adjustment period before the European Commission could exercise supervision and enforcement powers. Non-compliance fines can reach €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. High-risk AI system obligations also apply from this date, requiring conformity assessments and technical documentation. Legiscope reported the core details. Artificial Intelligence Act EU noted additional context. GDPR Register added corroborating details.
