The EU AI Office Sent Its First Formal Requests for Information to Frontier Model Providers on August 29
Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen confirmed on August 29, 2026 that the AI Office issued its first formal enforcement step under the AI Act, sending requests for information to general-purpose AI model providers "based in different regions of the world" — reported to include OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Two separate RFIs went out: one on model security, independent external evaluations and post-market monitoring, and one demanding training-content summaries from providers who never published them. Incorrect, incomplete or misleading answers carry fines of up to €15M or 3% of global annual turnover, and the responses become part of a permanent supervisory record — this is the first time the GPAI powers that took effect August 2 have actually been fired.
