EU Commission AI Office Director Lucilla Sioli explains in a podcast how the office enforces the AI Act, focusing on enforcement of general-purpose AI rules, how the information request mechanism works in practice, and the role of the Code of Practice in model compliance. The AI Office currently has more than 150 people, about half working on AI Act implementation and the other half on research and innovation policy, and is still hiring.
