By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The European Union has recently implemented new regulations concerning software and AI security. As of August 2nd, enforcement for the AI Act's GPAI provisions has begun, introducing penalties of up to 3% of a company's turnover, mandatory red-teaming, and weight security requirements.
