European Union: New Technology

The European Union has spent the last decade reshaping the digital regulatory landscape through landmark legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the AI Act. The European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation is the next significant step in that evolution. While often described as a healthcare initiative, the EHDS is at its core a data governance framework designed to unlock the value of electronic health data while safeguarding fundamental rights and promoting innovation.

There is encouraging news from Finland. GDP growth has been among the strongest in the OECD this year, and investment activity is showing renewed momentum.

As organisations explore agentic AI systems capable of autonomous decision-making and task execution, the strategic importance of business analysis intensifies. This examination reveals how business analysts must now define decision boundaries, establish governance frameworks, and ensure AI implementations align with measurable business outcomes rather than technology-first approaches.

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer's Frankfurt Corporate Crime & Investigations team hosted a conference examining cybercrime threats, AI-driven attacks, and the evolving responsibilities of corporate leadership in building cyber resilience.

The term “offering” must be interpreted autonomously and in an economic sense. It is sufficient to present an item so that a viewer can make an offer to acquire it (invitatio ad offerendum). Thus, neither price indication nor ability to deliver is required. The Court expressly extended the CoA’s ruling in Belkin v.

When exercising its discretion under R. 222.2 RoP, the CoA weighs the justification for the late submission, its relevance to the appeal, and the position of the opposing party. A party must explain why the evidence could not have been submitted in the first instance. The mere fact that assembling the evidence took time is insufficient where the party had ample opportunity to do so beforehand.

European companies face a critical challenge as artificial intelligence transforms business operations, with only 15-20% prepared for the transition. Industry leaders Lutech, Impresoft, and TAS reveal how specialization, data governance, and process expertise separate successful AI implementation from costly experimentation. The real competitive advantage lies not in technology adoption itself, but in transforming AI into measurable business value through strategic integration and operational knowledge.

Artificial intelligence systems train on millions of creative works without permission, sparking fierce debates about copyright infringement. This analysis examines six critical points where AI technology collides with intellectual property law, exploring what current legislation says about creators' rights in the age of machine learning.

En marzo de 2025 publicamos una alerta sobre el entonces Anteproyecto de Ley para el buen uso y la gobernanza de la inteligencia artificial, en la que destacábamos la posición avanzada de España...
