As of February 2, 2025, prohibitions on banned AI practices (e.g., social scoring, certain biometric surveillance, subliminal manipulation) became enforceable — meaning real regulatory obligations are currently in effect. General-Purpose AI (GPAI) obligations became enforceable on 2 August 2025. Most high-risk AI system obligations will fully apply from 2 August 2026, with some safety-component rules following in 2027. Multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources — including the European Commission's official digital strategy page, Wikipedia (last edited June 2026), Harvard University IT, Baker McKenzie, and the official EU AI Act tracker — all consistently confirm the Act is in force and actively regulating AI, though with a staggered rollout. No source contradicts the claim that AI is currently being regulated by the EU AI Act.\",\n  \"what_changed\": null,\n  \"sources\": [\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/regulatory-framework-ai\",\n      \"title\": \"AI Act | Shaping Europe's digital future – European Union\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2024-08-01\",\n      \"source_type\": \"web\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 1,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_Act\",\n      \"title\": \"Artificial Intelligence Act – Wikipedia\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2026-06-16\",\n      \"source_type\": \"wikipedia\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 1,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://www.bakermckenzie.com/en/insight/publications/resources/product-risk-radar-articles/eu-regulation-on-ai\",\n      \"title\": \"EU Regulation on AI | Baker McKenzie\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2025-02\",\n      \"source_type\": \"web\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 2,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://www.huit.harvard.edu/eu-ai-act\",\n      \"title\": \"EU AI Act Prohibited Use Cases | Harvard University IT\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2025-02-02\",\n      \"source_type\": \"web\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 1,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://digital.nemko.com/insights/eu-ai-act-rules-on-gpai-2025-update\",\n      \"title\": \"EU AI Act GPAI 2025 Update: Key Rules & Compliance Guide\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2025\",\n      \"source_type\": \"web\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 2,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/implementation-timeline\",\n      \"title\": \"Implementation Timeline | EU Artificial Intelligence Act\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2025-02\",\n      \"source_type\": \"web\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 2,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2026/04/us-companies-face-eu-ai-acts-possible-august-2026-compliance-deadline\",\n      \"title\": \"U.S. Companies Face EU AI Act's Possible August 2026 Compliance Deadline | Holland & Knight\",\n      \"published_date\": \"2026-04\",\n      \"source_type\": \"news\",\n      \"credibility_tier\": 2,\n      \"supports\": \"CONFIRMS\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"url\": \"https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/eu-ai-act\",\n      \"title\": \"What is the EU AI Act?
