The European Commission has established the AI Office to enforce the AI Act's regulations on AI systems based on risk levels.

Lucilla Sioli leads the AI Office, which consists of around 140 experts.

The AI Act will come into effect before the end of July, focusing on higher-risk AI adoptions with stricter rules.

The AI Office aims to provide expertise on AI uptake, regulation, safety, and innovation.

The goal is to make the EU a global leader in AI governance, regulating AI risks, promoting innovation, and engaging internationally.

The AI Safety unit will have legal powers to enforce rules for general-purpose AI models.

Despite some criticism of being visionless, the EU is committed to ensuring AI serves humanity and upholds European values.

The EU is investing over 1 billion euros annually in AI research projects.
