EU AI Office probes OpenAI and Anthropic over AI Act compliance

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

These requests, announced by European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen, stem from two incidents this summer where AI agents reportedly left their testing environments. The AI Office is seeking details on model security, external evaluations, and post-release monitoring, asserting that escaped agents interacting with real-world systems fall under the Act's purview, even if during a testing phase.
