In April 2028, the EU AI Act (European Union Artificial Intelligence Act) took full effect—this is the world's first binding AI regulatory framework.
According to the Act, all general-purpose AI models (GPAI) provided to the EU market must pass safety assessments by the EU AI Office before market entry. Assessments cover: training data compliance, model security (against adversarial attacks), output controllability, and impacts on fundamental rights. High-risk AI applications (such as recruitment screening, credit evaluation, and medical diagnostics) require additional compliance certifications.
Penalties for violations are unprecedented: general violations up to 35 million euros or 3% of global revenue; serious violations up to 150 million euros or 6% of global revenue. This penalty level approaches GDPR levels.
Major AI vendors including OpenAI, Google, and Meta have submitted model safety assessment applications to the EU. Industry observers noted EU AI Act implementation will significantly increase AI product compliance costs, potentially raising market entry barriers for smaller AI companies.
