EU Commission | New EU Plan to Address the Risks and Opportunities of Advanced AI for Cybersecurity

The European Commission has presented a plan to address the risks and harness the opportunities of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity.

ECB | Interview with Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB

Interview with Les Échos conducted by Guillaume Benoit and Christophe Jakubyszyn on 24 June 2026 On 11 June, the ECB raised its key interest rates. Do you still think that was the right decision, given that just ten days later Iran and the United States agreed a 60-day ceasefire? We are confident that we made the right choice. As early as April, a large majority of Governing Council members were already prepared to take a decision. But at that point we...

IMF | Tokenization Can Change the World’s Financial Architecture

Policy choices will determine whether tokenized finance strengthens or fragments the financial system. Tokenization is often described as a technological upgrade enabling faster settlement, cheaper payments, and programmable assets. But it is a lot more. When financial assets and liabilities move onto shared digital ledgers, the structure of the financial system itself changes. Processes that today occur sequentially — execution, clearing, settlement —can now happen simultaneously, governed by software rather than institutional processes. Risk could migrate away from the balance sheets...

Bytes & Beverages: Cyber Risk in the Age of AI

Cyber risk is no longer confined to IT departments — it is now a board-level issue shaped by regulatory pressure, legal exposure, and rapidly evolving attacker capabilities. This seminar brings together legal, technical, and strategic experts from both sides of the Atlantic to explore how organizations are navigating a fragmented regulatory environment, the rise of AI-enabled cybercrime, and the growing need for structured governance around AI deployment. From the US’s multi-layered regulatory system to Europe’s evolving cyber and data protection framework, the discussion will highlight where organizations are most exposed—and what “good preparedness” now actually looks like in practice.

      ACG Resources x CILC | AI in Hiring: A Powerful Tool – A Comparison Between EU and U.S. Regulatory Approaches

      AI in recruitment has already moved past the “emerging trend” phase. It is embedded in how we source, screen, rank, and engage talent. The conversation now is less about adoption and more about control: who governs it, how it is audited, and what risks businesses are actually taking on. Setting the Stage In the U.S., AI adoption in hiring has been fast, decentralized, and largely market-driven. Vendors are rolling out tools that promise efficiency—resume parsing, candidate matching, behavioral assessments—while...

      On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court of the U.S. (SCOTUS) held in Trump v. Slaughter that the U.S. President can dismiss members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at will, rather than only for cause, overruling existing precedent regarding independent agencies. This decision of domestic constitutional law could also change the rules governing transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA, which includes the 27 European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) to the U.S. The EU-U.S. Data Privacy...

      Stephenson Harwood | AI: The New Frontier for Competition Authority Monitoring and Enforcement

      Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming markets at unprecedented speed. From pricing and procurement to product development and consumer engagement, AI is driving efficiencies and innovation across sectors. At the same time, competition authorities in the UK, EU and US are intensifying scrutiny of how AI is developed and deployed, concerned that it could reduce competition, entrench market power and harm consumers if left unchecked. For businesses, this regulatory focus presents both risk and opportunity. While compliance expectations are rising, competition...
