The European Commission is hiring 40 contract agents for its AI Office to enforce the EU AI Act, raising its combined staff to 111\. The units will police compliance and model risks, with full powers to impose fines or ban non-compliant AI systems from Sunday. The move addresses concerns over the office's capacity to regulate major AI models, Politico reports. **(POLITICO)**
