What you'll learn

From August 2026 the EU AI Act fully enters into force and high-risk AI systems are registered in a European database.
Platforms must offer an alternative without profiling, but that alternative may legally be of lower quality or harder to find.
Discriminatory algorithms can be fined up to 35 million euros or 7 per cent of worldwide turnover, though enforcement is not yet fully built up.
Citizens gain a right to explanation by a human for automated decisions, although it is unclear how quickly that explanation must come.

Frequently asked questions

When does the EU AI Act fully enter into force?

From August 2026 most rules of the EU AI Act take effect. The full rollout runs until August 2028, when the final obligations for high-risk systems embedded in regulated products take effect.

What fines apply to discriminatory algorithms?

Discriminatory algorithms can be fined up to 35 million euros or 7 per cent of worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. Other obligations under the law carry a lower maximum of 15 million euros or 3 per cent of annual turnover.

Do I have a right to explanation for an automated decision?

Yes, under the AI Act citizens gain a right to explanation by a human for automated decisions. The law still leaves open how quickly that explanation must come and how you enforce it.
