Article 99 sets the EU AI Act penalty tiers: up to EUR 35M or 7% for Article 5 prohibitions, EUR 15M or 3% for high-risk failures, EUR 7.5M or 1% for incorrect information. Article 101 sets GPAI-specific fines up to EUR 15M or 3%.
EU AI Act fines are big and they stack with GDPR fines. Article 99 has three tiers: Tier 1 for prohibited Article 5 practices (EUR 35M or 7% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher); Tier 2 for high-risk obligations (EUR 15M or 3%); Tier 3 for incorrect or misleading information (EUR 7.5M or 1%). Article 101 covers GPAI-specific obligations at EUR 15M or 3%. For credit-scoring deployers, GDPR Article 22 fines and Consumer Credit Directive penalties can stack on top of AI Act fines for a single incident.
