abstract: Enforcement of the EU AI Act began on August 2, 2024, with binding rules for high-risk AI systems. National market surveillance authorities are now empowered to conduct audits, request documentation, and impose penalties. The Act applies immediately to high-risk AI systems placed on the EU market, while general-purpose AI rules follow a phased timeline.

  value: It combines official sourcing (Commission press release), precise legal citations (OJ L-2024-1689), and global framing ('setting the standard') to make enforcement feel administratively settled and internationally authoritative — even though the article offers no evidence of actual audit activity, cross-border coordination mechanisms, or capacity assessments at the national level.
