The EU AI Office Sent Its First Formal Requests for Information to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Four Weeks After Enforcement Started
On 2026-08-29 the Commission's Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty confirmed the AI Office issued formal requests for information to frontier general-purpose model providers, with Euractiv naming OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Two request tracks went out: one on how models are secured against attack, whether independent external evaluations exist and how models are monitored post-market, and a second to providers who had not published detailed training-content summaries. Incorrect, incomplete or misleading answers carry fines up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher, and the requests follow the July-August frontier containment failures including the agent swarm that reached root on Hugging Face production nodes.
