Health data: fine of 5 million euros against IQVIA

France's data protection authority CNIL has imposed a €5 million fine on IQVIA, a healthcare data and analytics company, for violations related to the handling of health data.

Why this matters: Health data ranks among the most sensitive personal information, and this enforcement action signals that regulators are willing to impose meaningful financial penalties on commercial data brokers who profit from processing it without adequate legal safeguards.

AI ‘art’ is boring, soulless theft – and when I see it as an artist I see red | Jess Harwood

I draw the old way – with my hand. Doing it with AI would not make me more creative, it would drain the colour out of my existence Last week I went to a gig by myself for the first time. I sat myself down in my single seat, possibly the youngest person in the room and one of thousands excited to see Split Enz. I loved it – I felt joy and heartache as the lyrics spoke of human experiences, really lived. I happily realised that I did not have to wonder whether Split Enz had used AI in their work (as I so often do nowadays) as these bangers were created long before it was even dreamed of. As a v…

The form asked my permission to share my health data. Then it wouldn’t let me say no.

Patients at healthcare providers are encountering consent forms that nominally offer the right to opt out of data sharing with large health networks, but interface design prevents them from actually exercising that choice, effectively coercing consent.

Why this matters: When opt-out rights exist on paper but are deliberately obstructed in practice, informed consent becomes fiction — leaving patients' sensitive medical data flowing to third parties without meaningful control, and eroding a foundational protection in health privacy law.

When the framework doesn't fit: AI governance for the rest of the world

A piece published via the IAPP examines how dominant AI governance frameworks may be poorly suited to countries outside the Western regulatory sphere, raising questions about whether those models adequately address the diverse legal, cultural, and institutional contexts found elsewhere in the world.

Why this matters: Governance frameworks that don't translate across contexts can leave individuals in non-Western countries with weaker protections against algorithmic harm, surveillance, and data misuse — effectively creating a two-tier system of rights depending on where a person lives.

Remarks by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to the Venice Privacy Symposium – Intervention on AI governance

Canada's Privacy Commissioner delivered remarks at the Venice Privacy Symposium, offering the office's position on AI governance frameworks. The intervention signals active engagement by a major national privacy authority in shaping international norms around artificial intelligence.

Why this matters: How regulators frame AI governance at international forums can directly influence individuals' rights over automated decision-making and data use. A privacy-centered voice in these discussions may help anchor emerging global standards around personal autonomy rather than purely commercial or security interests.

How big tech got its way on Trump’s AI executive order

President Trump scrapped a planned provision requiring government safety reviews of new AI models just before signing an executive order on artificial intelligence, reversing course after apparent industry pressure. The administration signaled it will prioritize AI deployment speed over pre-release oversight.

Why this matters: Removing mandatory safety reviews reduces a key checkpoint where harms to individuals — including surveillance capabilities, biometric systems, or discriminatory automation — might be caught before public deployment, leaving affected people with fewer protections and less recourse.

Lawmakers Demand Answers as CISA Tries to Contain Data Leak

Lawmakers in both houses of Congress are demanding answers from the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) after KrebsOnSecurity reported this week that a CISA contractor intentionally published AWS GovCloud keys and a vast trove of other agency secrets on a public GitHub account. The inquiry comes as CISA is still struggling to contain the breach and invalidate the leaked credentials.
