Common questions

- Up to €35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher, for banned AI practices (Article 99(3)).
- What is the fine for breaking Article 50 transparency rules?
- Up to €15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher (Article 99(4)). This covers unlabelled AI chatbots and deepfakes.
- Are fines lower for small businesses?
- Yes. For SMEs and start-ups, each ceiling is the lower of the fixed amount and the turnover percentage (Article 99(6)).
- Is this the fine I will actually pay?
- No. These are legal maximums. Regulators set the actual amount based on how serious and long the breach was, its effect on people, cooperation and company size (Article 99(7)).
- Which turnover counts?
- Total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year, not just EU revenue.
