We begin with institutional updates from the European Board for Digital Services, which recently held its 17th meeting marking two years of active oversight on digital services and AI chatbot enforcement.

The EU’s financial supervisory authorities—EBA, ESMA, and EIOPA—jointly published informational sheets to help consumers detect and protect themselves from AI-driven online financial fraud, especially in crypto.

In France, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) released a comprehensive study revealing that 90% of financial firms utilize AI, mainly generative AI for internal productivity and data analysis, while client-facing AI applications remain limited.

On the global stage, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) introduced five key 2026 publications focusing on safety culture leadership, AI application in medical devices, and updated regulations for radioactive material transport.

Additionally, Germany and Saudi Arabia signed a Memorandum of Understanding to deepen cooperation on energy policy, including carbon management, energy efficiency, digital transformation, cybersecurity, and AI.
