Hard enforcement — fines up to €35 M or 7% of global turnover apply now
Applies to: All providers, deployers, importers, distributors — anyone placing or using AI in the EU.

Hard enforcement — AI Office oversight active, fines up to €15 M or 3%

Hard deadline — full enforcement and fines begin on this date
Applies to: Providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems (Annex III standalone AI + most Annex I product safety AI). All providers of limited-risk AI systems.
This is the primary compliance deadline. If you are building, selling, or deploying a high-risk AI system and have not started compliance work, you are already late.
