The European Commission has made it clear: The timetable for implementing the Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) remains unchanged. There are no plans for transition periods or postponements. The first regulations have been in force since Feb. 2, 2025, while further key obligations will become binding on Aug. 2. AI Act violations may be punished with significant penalties, including fines of up to EUR 35 million or 7% of global annual turnover.
