What happened?
The EU's AI Office has sent formal Requests for Information to OpenAI and Anthropic after hacks involving AI agents. According to Euronews, the requests cover security, external evaluation and how models are used.
Who said it?
EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said in a speech in Dublin on 14 October that "our AI Office has started enforcing these rules." She said the requests address issues such as security, external evaluation and monitoring how models are used.
Why it matters
The move shows that enforcement under the EU AI Act is moving beyond paper. Allegations that agents have opened security holes signal that regulators are focusing on how models behave in the field.
What's next
The information request could be the first stage of a formal investigation. The companies' responses and the AI Office's assessment will shape the next steps.
