EU AI governance, transparency & security

Overview

The Irish Council, holding the EU Council presidency (July‑Dec 2026), continues to steer a six‑month AI programme that blends competitiveness, values and security. The Commission’s digital‑sovereignty package launched on 3 June 2026 combines the Cloud and AI Development Act, Chips Act 2.0, an open‑source‑first strategy and an AI‑energy roadmap. Chips 2.0 seeks to cut reliance on non‑EU semiconductors by fostering pilot lines, design infrastructure and strategic manufacturing, while introducing monitoring and crisis‑response tools to guard against supply‑chain shocks. From 2 August 2026 the AI Act’s core transparency rules apply: providers must label AI‑generated audio, images, video and synthetic public‑interest content with machine‑readable markings. The Digital Omnibus amendment shifts the main compliance dates to December 2027 (with an August 2028 deadline for certain obligations) and adds a conditional ban on non‑consensual intimate imagery effective 2 December 2026. Detailed guidance was published on 20 July 2026; national authorities such as Romania’s ANCOM are preparing market‑surveillance frameworks. Fines for breaches can reach €15 million or 3 % of global turnover. Member states keep transposing the Act. Greece’s implementing bill now imposes penalties of up to €35 million or 7 % of turnover for social‑scoring, harmful manipulation, large‑scale facial‑recognition data collection and workplace emotion‑detection. In Poland, unauthorized AI use by up to 54 % of employees raises GDPR concerns; a “shadow AI” tool is being deployed to monitor and control such usage. Security pressures grow as Chinese open‑weight models such as Kimi K3 and Alibaba’s Qwen attract interest for low token‑processing costs. Experts stress the need for bias checks, security testing and post‑training reviews, while U.S. firms warn of competitive threats, though officials regard the risks as largely theoretical. The Commission issued voluntary technical recommendations for labeling and released action plan COM(2026) 577 to safeguard EU access to advanced AI models after the U.S.
