History

Historical Context

The EU adopted the GDPR on 14 April 2016, coming into force on 25 May 2018 and giving regulators power to levy fines up to €20 million or 4 % of global turnover. After landmark fines on Meta (€1.2 billion, Jan 2025) and TikTok (€345 million, 2024), OpenAI’s SEC filing and Anthropic’s G7 appeal show AI firms now face the same coordinated oversight the GDPR introduced.
