The EU AI Act enforcement deadline for General Purpose AI (GPAI) providers is August 2, 2026, under Regulation 2024/1689. From this date, the European Commission can investigate and issue fines for non-compliance, with penalties up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover under Article 101. High-risk AI systems must comply with Articles 12 (record-keeping), 13 (transparency), and 14 (human oversight) requirements. Providers must maintain audit trails documenting AI-assisted decisions, ensure users can interpret AI outputs, and prove meaningful human control over AI decisions. Most organizations remain unprepared for the compliance requirements. Compliora reported the core details. Medialaws.eu noted additional context. TechRepublic added corroborating details.
