Why it moved the index
This is a completed first enforcement action under the AI Act rather than another policy announcement. It creates a formal information-gathering path across safety, security, transparency, and copyright for more than 30 AI companies, including advanced general-purpose models. The Commission's dated transcript directly verifies the step. Magnitude is moderate because requests for information are preliminary, recipients are undisclosed, and no compliance finding or sanction has yet followed.
