Detailed Analysis
The EU AI Act will begin enforcement in 2025, targeting prohibited use cases initially and expanding to general-purpose AI (GPAI) models like generative AI by June 2025. "EU enforcement of the EU AI Act requirements on prohibited use cases will kick off as private action only in February 2025 and expand to general-purpose AI (GPAI) models (e.g., generative AI) in June 2025." With the combined oversight of the EU AI Office and data protection authorities, a GPAI provider will receive the first fine for violating the Act. This signifies a significant step towards regulating AI and ensuring responsible development and deployment, particularly for GPAI models like generative AI.
