In the European Union, the Working Party on Telecommunications and Information Society announced it will review specific articles—29 to 44—of the Cloud and AI Development Act proposal. This detailed examination covers provisions related to public procurement and AI governance. Coordination with the Working Party on Competitiveness and Growth will ensure alignment on public procurement items.
Also in the European Union, clarifications were issued regarding the AI Regulation. The application dates for certain high-risk AI systems and regulatory sandboxes have been postponed. Providers of high-risk AI systems must comply with risk management, technical documentation, and cybersecurity requirements before market release or use. Users of these AI systems are required to ensure safe use, follow instructions, and inform relevant staff. The update also introduces banned AI applications and confirms that participation in regulatory sandboxes remains voluntary.
Turning to Luxembourg, the Commission Nationale pour la Protection des Données, or CNPD, announced the appointment of Philippe Ney as president and Andreea Monnat as a new commissioner, effective November 1, 2026.
