Background & analysis
The EU AI Act, the European Union's risk-based law for artificial intelligence, has fully activated its enforcement machinery. Since 2 August 2026, Brussels authorities can fine providers of general-purpose AI models up to EUR 15 million or 3% of global turnover. On 14 October 2026, the EU AI Office opened its first enforcement case, sending formal information requests to OpenAI and Anthropic. This marks the first time the AI Office has exercised its powers against major AI model providers since the enforcement regime came into effect. For developers offering AI software to the EU market, the article stresses that compliance is no longer a distant roadmap item. It also notes that the Digital Omnibus has delayed certain obligations applying to high-risk systems. As of now, the case against OpenAI and Anthropic remains at an early stage, with both companies having received formal information requests but no decisions yet issued.
