EU draft rules could extend AI fines to 10 years, impacting Google and Meta

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Draft European Union regulations propose extending the potential fine period for AI companies to up to 10 years. Under these proposed rules, each "informal request" made by the AI Office during an investigation would reset a 5-year limitation clock. This could mean that companies launching AI features in 2026 might face fines as late as 2036, with access to files for investigations restricted to external advisors. AI

IMPACT These proposed EU regulations could significantly extend the compliance and enforcement timeline for AI companies, potentially impacting product launch strategies and long-term risk assessment.
