The EU Commission appointed Tanya Chetcuti as Director for Digital Workplace and Infrastructure within its Directorate-General for Digital Services (DG DIGIT). This department provides the digital backbone of the organisation, interconnecting people, data and processes across European Institutions and Member States and underpinning secure operations and EU policy implementation.
An EU Commission Eurobarometer survey finds widespread exposure to workplace cyber threats, with phishing the most common. Despite high awareness, only 54% check senders before opening links and 60% received cybersecurity training, highlighting gaps in everyday habits and preparedness.
The EU Commission is consulting stakeholders on potential measures to strengthen copyright protection amid technological change. The consultation covers AI’s use of protected content, online piracy, remuneration for music performers and producers, and copyright in scientific research.
Xi Jinping’s state visit produced eight “deliverables” – yet most are dialogues, intentions or restated positions. Trade gets a modest $30bn tariff list, AI a new dialogue channel. Taiwan and Ukraine are absent. And the two capitals do not even agree on what the AI talks are called.
At a UN Security Council debate, Yoshua Bengio, a pioneer of artificial neural networks and deep learning, warned of autonomous AI agents escaping safeguards, while the chiefs of OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face proposed different responses. France urged global rules; the US rejected a global regulator. Other members called for human control, mandatory incident reporting and AI access for developing countries. The central dispute: Who decides how fast frontier AI
ENISA finds that attacks on suppliers and other third parties can spread disruption across digital services. Public administration was the most targeted sector in its 2025 analysis, while ransomware remained the most damaging threat in the short term. How is Artificial Intelligence changing the risks?
The EU’s banking, insurance and markets supervisors say the financial system remains resilient, but reliance on non-EU technology providers could magnify disruption. They also flag AI-enabled cyberattacks and fast-growing private credit. Where could stress spread first?
Two EU Commission reports find that generative AI can improve learning when students use it critically, but may weaken outcomes through mechanical use and cognitive overreliance. While nearly two-thirds of European education systems have adopted AI policies or guidance, gaps persist in digital access, assessment, technical support and teacher training.
The European Court of Auditors says the EU’s cybersecurity cooperation framework remains only partly effective, despite €1.4 billion in budget funding. Limited information-sharing, overlapping monitoring roles and procurement delays are hampering preparedness—while the European Cybersecurity Alert System is still not operational.
The EU Commission has proposed a common rating scheme covering data centres above 500 kW, assessing their energy and water use, grid flexibility, clean power and waste-heat reuse. With electricity demand forecast to almost double by 2030, it is also preparing minimum performance standards for 2027.
The EU-funded XRculture project has digitised 1,281 heritage datasets, helped document endangered museum collections in Ukraine and virtually reunited Roman artefacts separated after the Second World War. Its immersive Palmyra classroom also delivered a striking improvement in students’ learning outcomes
