The July 2026 edition has been edited by Joaquín Muñoz with contributions from the Regulatory & Public Affairs team and Bird & Bird colleagues from across our One Firm network.
In this edition, we share timely insights on Spain’s CNMC consultation on number suballocation criteria and its draft AI governance law, China’s landmark commercial approval of the world’s first invasive brain-computer interface, Sweden’s implementation of the CER Directive, and the EDPS’s new checklist on human intervention in automated decisionmaking. We also examine the EU and UK’s proposed framework for Mobile Satellite Services, the ICO’s recommendations on AI-powered cyber threats, and the NCSC and DSIT’s Cyber Shield initiative for national AI cyber defence.
