Việc thực thi Đạo luật AI của EU bắt đầu, OpenAI và Anthropic đối mặt với sự giám sát chặt chẽ hơn

The Huoxing Finance report states that on August 2, the European Commission gained new regulatory enforcement powers over AI, enabling it to assess models, restrict market access, and impose fines on companies developing General Purpose AI (GPAI) models, with U.S. AI firms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google becoming key targets. Under the implementation schedule of the EU AI Act, the European Commission can require companies to submit model assessments before entering the European market and impose fines of up to €15 million or 3% of the company’s global annual revenue, whichever is higher. This new authority is seen as a significant step by the EU to advance “technological sovereignty” and may further intensify regulatory friction between Europe and the U.S. Previously, the EU fined Google $1 billion under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), prompting former U.S. President Trump to threaten imposing “massive” tariffs on the EU. The EU AI Office stated that risks posed by advanced AI models are expanding, necessitating stronger regulation. Analysts note that even AI companies headquartered in the U.S. cannot evade EU oversight; non-EU AI service providers must also designate an authorized representative within the EU as a regulatory contact point. Recently, the EU has intensified communication with companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, focusing on safety risks related to AI models. OpenAI has confirmed it is cooperating with the EU AI Office. Tom Gordon, Vice President of Policy for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at OpenAI, stated that the company will continue working with the European Commission and the industry ecosystem to facilitate the implementation of the AI Act while promoting the development of artificial intelligence in Europe.
