Prohibitions on unacceptable-risk AI systems have been in force since 2 February 2025; GPAI model rules since 2 August 2025. High-risk AI obligations are due from 2 August 2026, subject to the Digital Omnibus proposal which may defer enforcement. For the full implementation timeline, governance structure, and current status, see the European Union overview.
  • CNIL is seeking designation as supervisory authority for AI systems processing personal data. The AI Commission (chaired by Anne Bouverot) advises the government on national implementation.
