AI governance, business adoption and security concerns

Overview

Industry groups, including the Actors for Young Performers Association and over 1,000 stakeholders, continue to oppose Hasbro’s plan to use AI‑generated child voice recordings, a dispute that began in late June 2026. In Mexico, the governing Morena bloc is advancing AI and social‑media regulation, while President Claudia Sheinbaum warns against excessive screen time for children and Deputy Ricardo Monreal drafts copyright reforms. A McKinsey study shows 88 % of Mexican firms now use AI in at least one function, and UK/US research flags cognitive‑delegation risks from over‑reliance on generative models. Spain’s Andalusia region created a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence, and Madrid’s Bar Association hosted a forum on applying the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 standards; the Spanish Data Protection Authority cautions firms to protect personal and health data under GDPR. A KPMG survey finds only 7 % of senior executives see clear AI ROI, prompting calls for process‑focused adoption. The European Commission has intensified DMA enforcement. Binding decisions issued on 17 July 2026 require Google to open at least eleven Android system functions—including microphone, camera, screen, voice‑activation and background‑app interactions—so that third‑party AI assistants can operate on par with Gemini, and to share anonymised search‑query and click‑through data with rivals. The Commission set a final compliance deadline of 1 August 2027, by which Google must roll out Android 18 with the mandated openness. Data‑sharing is to begin in January 2027, with Android updates starting July 2027. Google warns the openness could create significant privacy and security risks, while the Commission argues the measures protect competition and personal data. Health innovation continues with Ecuador’s first AI‑enhanced CT scanner, Colombia pilots humanoid robots, and researchers warn AI marketplaces now host malicious “skills”.
