CLAIM-2026-10-12-15

The EUR 35,000,000 or 7% ceiling quoted in coverage of the Italian decrees is AI Act Article 99(3), for the Article 5 prohibitions; operator duties and Article 50 transparency sit at Article 99(4), EUR 15,000,000 or 3%.

Why it matters

The headline figure is for prohibited practices, not for the duties a practitioner is likely to breach, and quoting it for the latter overstates the exposure by more than half.
