The EU Artificial Intelligence Act enters its full enforcement phase as the August 2, 2026 deadline approaches under Regulation 2024/1689. Major model providers must comply with GPAI (General-Purpose AI) governance requirements including transparency obligations, copyright compliance measures, and summarized training methodology disclosures. The European Commission is implementing binding regulatory regimes across EU member states, moving AI oversight from principle to enforceable obligation. Companies must classify all AI systems, assess whether they fall under high-risk or prohibited categories, and implement relevant measures for risk management, human oversight, data governance, and transparency before the deadline to avoid penalties.
