AI Act2 Feb 2025
The ban on AI emotion recognition in the workplace and education applies since 2 February 2025 (Art. 5 AI Act). Enforcement is still nascent — no major formal case yet. Fines for prohibited practices are the highest in the regulation.
What to do: Confirm no system implements an Art. 5 prohibited practice; the penalty ceiling is up to EUR 35 million or 7 percent of worldwide turnover.
