digitaltrends.com

The European Commission has released guidance for companies to help them comply with the AI Act's prohibited uses. This follows the Act's recent enforcement, which began on February 2, 2025. The AI Act, passed in March 2024, bans eight specific AI uses deemed unacceptable. Companies violating these rules could face fines of up to 7% of their global turnover or €35 million. While the guidelines are not legally binding, they aim to ensure consistent application of the AI Act across the EU. The Act's rules will be implemented gradually, with full enforcement expected by August 2, 2026.
