EU AI Act enforcement can now demand model access, curb EU access, and fine GPAI providers
Since August 2, 2026, the Commission can investigate GPAI providers, request model access, order corrective measures, and levy serious fines.
- Treat AI Office requests like regulator letters, with owners, deadlines, escalation paths, and evidence ready before receipt.
- Update GPAI vendor contracts for documentation access, EU availability notice, and fallback rights if market access changes.
- Do not confuse high-risk AI delays with GPAI enforcement timing. The August 2, 2026 powers still matter.
