A view from Brussels: EU tackles AI and cyber
The IAPP has published a Brussels-focused briefing examining how the European Union is approaching the intersection of artificial intelligence regulation and cybersecurity policy. The piece reflects ongoing EU efforts to coordinate its AI Act framework with broader digital security obligations.
Why this matters: Brussels is where the rules that shape global tech policy get written, and right now two of the biggest ones — AI regulation and cybersecurity requirements — are being worked out at the same time. How the EU connects them matters beyond Europe. Companies operating internationally will have to comply, and the standards set there tend to travel. The key thing to watch is whether the two frameworks reinforce each other or create conflicting obligations that mostly burden smaller players while larger ones absorb the cost and move on.
