Fines are tiered by violation severity and set as: Setting aside the exact numeric caps, which statement best

AIGP Understanding How Laws, Standards and Frameworks Apply to AI Hard

EU AI Act penalties are tiered by severity, with the most serious breaches carrying the highest caps set as the higher of a fixed sum or a percentage of global annual turnover.

The question

A multinational faces enforcement under the EU AI Act and asks how the maximum administrative fine for its most serious category of violation would be determined. Setting aside the exact numeric caps, which statement best describes the structure of the Act's penalty framework?

  1. Fines are a single flat amount applied equally to every violation regardless of its severity or size
    Plausible but wrong: the framework is tiered by severity, not a single flat amount for all violations.
  2. Fines are tiered by violation severity and set as the higher of a fixed sum or a percentage of global turnover ✓
    Correct: penalties are tiered by severity, with the most serious violations facing the highest caps, calculated as the higher of a fixed amount or a share of worldwide annual turnover.
  3. Fines are capped only at a percentage of the revenue earned within the single member state of enforcement
    Plausible but wrong: the turnover benchmark is global annual turnover, not revenue in one member state alone.
  4. Fines cannot be imposed at all, and enforcement is limited to issuing non-binding warnings to noncompliant providers
    Plausible but wrong: the Act authorizes substantial administrative fines, not merely non-binding warnings.
The trap
Assuming a flat fine or that the turnover benchmark is local rather than global.

How to remember it

EU AI Act penalties are tiered by severity, with the most serious breaches carrying the highest caps set as the higher of a fixed sum or a percentage of global annual turnover.
