Happy to be here at the Roundabout again after a long while - and with a very different kind of agenda since 4 years back! This time it’s #EU #AI Act and #ChatGPT discussion kindly hosted by Kreab Worldwide , very timely and beautifully ambiguous of cours…lnkd.in/eBD3rbPN

As they say - the obsession with the Black box issue #AI lnkd.in/e2BQDcjR

That time of the year. #NISDUC 2nd edition will explore the (hopefully not so rocky) road to #NIS2 Yes, #DORA is king but there are nuances! lnkd.in/eTeyXuaX

Right. So, we do care a bit more after all for #AI 'foundation models' (yes, another AI-related buzzword, watch the space). In other words, the #ChatGPTs of the world will get special treatment under #AIAct after all, only natural. lnkd.in/eei-hxsF

“When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it.” How much should the urge to know and build new be contained? lnkd.in/d8uAQ6NH

Wondering what's ahead in the #techreg space? A pop-sci explanation but still worth already putting on the horizon #quantumcomputing #quantumtechnology lnkd.in/ecqpWiqz

When are we going to stop freaking out in the face of any new technology and try to put it in a regulatory box from another technology and hope it will work just fine? Indeed, new approaches to and definitely new pace of regulatory…lnkd.in/eF6e2qdV lnkd.in/efAzseZV

The race for global thought and action leadership around exploiting and reining in #AI is on. While the #EU is busy with agreeing on a binding regulation (#AIAct), the #UK and the #US are pushing ahead with ideas lnkd.in/e_7J98H2

TWIMC #M3AAWG have produced a #BCP on #Ransomware Active #Attack Response. Might be quite handy (hopefully not) and worth saving in a safe place.. lnkd.in/eY32Bkd3

Good luck to us all connecting these dots. As new #tech pushes on, there will be more and more balls to juggle. The question is when we are likely to arrive at a #regulatory deadlock in #ICT and what will be the last straw lnkd.in/ephg3yN9

In case you had any doubt. It's a big piece of a giant #AI pie at stake and it's not going through the #EU regulatory tunnel lightly. Take your guess how much more watering down is likely to happen in the trialogues, given #AIPact…lnkd.in/eCG_fjmq lnkd.in/eDYZEk-K

When open source communities come marching in slate.com/technology/202…

An important shift in the age of trying to build #rules of #behaviour in #cyberspace. States have largely failed to live up to the norms they've signed up for. Now how realistic is it to expect non-state actors to play ball? to be seen #civilian #icrc ejiltalk.org/8-rules-for-ci…

Historic! The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺 The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race. The best is yet to come! 👍

Today, we join other civil society groups—inc Access Now, Human Rights Watch & EFF—in urging the EU and member states to withdraw support from the rights-harming UN Cybercrime Convention: gp-digital.org/news/civil-soc… Ursula von der Leyen Charles Michel Josep Borrell Fontelles Ylva Johansson Margrethe Vestager Didier Reynders

Something to ponder over

❗️Poland is calling to ‘stop the clock’ on the AI Act. A proposal to pause enforcement where compliance tools like standards are missing will be discussed at the Telecom Council on Friday. Also on the table: SME exemptions and a cross-regulatory forum. mlex.com/mlex/articles/…

EU digital chief Henna Virkkunen said the Commission doesn’t “rule out” postponing parts of the AI Act, citing the need for standards before rules apply. Czechia called for a 2-year delay, Germany expressed openness, & Spain warned against deregulation. mlex.com/mlex/artificia…

The UN system absorbed the Internet Governance Forum. Will a multistakeholder virus spread into the multilateral system, or will it make Internet governance more multilateral? More details here: internetgovernance.org/2025/12/18/wsi…
