From 2 August 2026, the Euro­pean Commission’s AI Office, togeth­er with nation­al author­i­ties, has begun enforc­ing the AI Act (Reg­u­la­tion (EU) 2024/1689). This was announced on the cor­re­spond­ing web­site. On the same date, new trans­paren­cy rules took effect, mark­ing a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in the EU’s reg­u­la­to­ry frame­work for AI.

Along­side enforce­ment, the Com­mis­sion pub­lished a first list of more than 180 organ­i­sa­tions that have signed the Code of Prac­tice on trans­paren­cy of AI-gen­er­at­ed con­tent, which oper­a­tionalis­es these rules. The AI Office can now also enforce oblig­a­tions for providers of gen­er­al-pur­pose AI (GPAI) mod­els, includ­ing advanced mod­els pos­ing sys­temic risks.

It also made avail­able sev­er­al enforce­ment tools: an AI Act com­plaints tool, an AI Act Whistle­blow­er Tool, and a com­plaints chan­nel for down­stream providers using gen­er­al-pur­pose AI (GPAI) models.
