EU AI Act penalties are large enough to be existential for mid-sized organizations — but enforcement resources are finite and priority is given to specific risk indicators. This module examines the enforcement architecture: which authorities have jurisdiction, what investigation triggers look like, how the Act's penalty tiers relate to violation severity, and what the first wave of enforcement actions is revealing about regulatory priority. Understanding enforcement logic is how governance programs avoid becoming examples.
