Fines for providers of general-purpose AI models
View on EUR-LexArticle 101 introduces a separate fine regime for GPAI providers, enforced by the Commission rather than by Member State authorities. Maximum fines are up to 3% of global annual turnover or €15 million, whichever is higher. Triggers include infringement of Art. 53 (baseline GPAI obligations), Art. 55 (systemic-risk obligations), failure to comply with a Commission request for documents, and supplying incorrect or misleading information. The Commission must respect the right to be heard before imposing a fine.
What you must do
- → Track Art. 53 and 55 obligations as a Commission-enforced track separate from Member State enforcement.
- → Maintain evidence-of-compliance ready for a Commission request.
