This Regulation should apply from 2 August 2026. However, taking into
account the unacceptable risk associated with the use of AI in certain ways, the prohibitions as
well as the general provisions of this Regulation should already apply from 2 February
2025. While the full effect of those prohibitions follows with the establishment of the
governance and enforcement of this Regulation, anticipating the application of the prohibitions
is important to take account of unacceptable risks and to have an effect on other procedures,
such as in civil law. Moreover, the infrastructure related to the governance and the conformity
assessment system should be operational before 2 August 2026, therefore the provisions on
notified bodies and governance structure should apply from 2 August 2025. Given the rapid
pace of technological advancements and adoption of general-purpose AI models, obligations for
providers of general-purpose AI models should apply from 2 August 2025. Codes of practice
should be ready by 2 May 2025 in view of enabling providers to demonstrate compliance on
time. The AI Office should ensure that classification rules and procedures are up to date in
light of technological developments. In addition, Member States should lay down and notify to
the Commission the rules on penalties, including administrative fines, and ensure that they are
properly and effectively implemented by the date of application of this Regulation. Therefore
the provisions on penalties should apply from 2 August 2025.
