National Assembly of Bulgaria (52nd National Assembly) — Bozhidar Bozhanov, Alexander Simidchiev, Elisaveta Belobradova and fellow MPs put a Law on the Use and Development of Artificial Intelligence before Bulgaria's 52nd National Assembly, a national AI law enacting the EU AI Act. A Minister of Innovation and Digital Transformation plus a national coordinator would lead; public bodies could adopt chatbots and automated paperwork. This AI legislation fines people 500–1,000 leva and firms 10,000–50,000 leva, and bars training on children's data.
Icelandic Ministry of Health — Iceland's Ministry of Health has issued a Digital Health Roadmap for AI in clinical practice and a Digital Health Action Plan for AI. Clinical leaders and staff get guidance on judging, choosing and introducing tools, with clinical AI there to inform decisions, never to override professionals' judgement. Next comes a governance structure.
Mușat & Asociații — Harvey hands each Mușat & Asociații attorney three to six hours back weekly, freeing capacity for new matters, a Harvey case study states, a legal AI time saving managing partner Alina Mușat ties to faster turnaround. GDPR and NIS2 queries open with a quicker first pass.
Yaroslavl Region Ministry of Health — Yaroslavl region's health ministry will put AI in cardiology consultations by late 2026, acting deputy health minister Svetlana Belyakova told a regional Duma committee in Russia. Planned functions: sorting circulatory-disease case data, compiling call-in rosters, flagging comorbid patients, recommending therapy adjustments or extra tests, and scoring check-up risks. This clinical decision support starts with heart care.
Health Service Executive (HSE) — The Health Service Executive (HSE) issued guidance under Ireland AI regulation splitting health-service AI projects into five stages, from opportunity spotting to live oversight. An Opportunity Registration Platform, a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment and an AI Inventory accompany the rules, and this clinical AI governance underpins the 2026 AI for Care strategy.
Mastercard — Mastercard polled 26,000 parents and teenagers in 13 European countries: 43% of Norway's teens finished a purchase via AI shopping last year. Over half use such tools monthly to hunt products or compare prices, and nearly two in three expect AI-assisted buying to handle some purchases within five years.
Courts Service of Ireland — Ireland's Courts Service will move its DAR AI Assistant, an AI court transcription and search tool, into a small-scale live pilot, with judges and court employees as users. Courthouse audio tests found 585 word errors in over 30,000 hand-checked words, a 2.2 percent rate, for the €170,000 system. Bad sound, more than regional accents, tripped up the AI transcripts.
Belgian federal parliament — Het Nieuwsblad put 491 recent Dutch-language written questions from MPs through the AI detector Pangram, rating 22.5% fully and 20.4% partly machine-written, a measure of AI in parliament. Ministers' replies scored 7.7% for some AI authorship, and a 2022 control set came out wholly human. The detector's accuracy behind these AI-drafted questions figures goes unassessed.
Hengeler Mueller — Harvey adoption at Hengeler Mueller stands at 96–97%, about 4,000 prompts daily, a Harvey case study says, after a six-week launch from just before Christmas to 450+ lawyers. Deal teams cite up to 95% less due diligence review time using Harvey Vault, with counsel Pierre Zickert's Legal Tech Center coaching.
Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency) — Klara, an AI voice assistant government hotline tool for Germany's Federal Employment Agency (BA), now answers roughly 18 million SGB III calls yearly. She greets callers, logs identity and basic needs, and in four pilot regions settles routine unemployment-benefit questions unaided. This telephone-support automation aims to shrink hold times, forwarding harder cases to staff with details already logged.
Ministry of Health; Centrum e-Zdrowia — Poland's Ministry of Health will open national AI in radiology to hospitals before year-end via the Platforma Usług Inteligentnych (PUI), which Centrum e-Zdrowia pitches as a digital assistant for radiologists. First come AI image analysis aids for X-ray, CT and MRI scans, paid from the e-Health strand of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
Ministry of Labour and Solidarity (France) — Jean-Pierre Farandou's Ministry of Labour and Solidarity unveiled Impulsion IA 2027, pumping 80 million euros of new cash into 12 steps that shape France AI policy for workplaces. Extending Osez l'IA from summer 2025, the package brings Explore IA, a no-cost skills-check tool, CPF priority for AI courses and task forces coaching small and medium-sized firms. A labour-market AI observatory will monitor job effects, while 20 companies and sectors pilot fresh tech-focused social dialogue.
Autostrada del Brennero — Autostrada del Brennero is trialling AI traffic management for 12 months on 87 km of Italy's A22, Brenner Pass to Bolzano South, via Valerann's Lanternn. CCTV, sensor, weather, floating-vehicle and historical-incident feeds form one live control-room picture. This motorway AI pilot should flag incidents automatically, rate risk and quicken operator responses.
French Ministry of Labour — France's Ministry of Labour unveiled Impulsion IA at Station F in Paris: twelve measures on AI skills for workers, with €80 million due in the 2027 finance bill. Jobseekers newly registered with France Travail will be offered an AI maturity test, and ExploreIA opens online in January 2027 to widen workforce AI training.
Regione Umbria — Regione Umbria, with Usl Umbria 1 and Usl Umbria 2, has put Mia before its GPs: an Agenas-backed system bringing AI for family doctors under mission 6 'Salute' of the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza. Around 60 sat through the Broletto workshop, Perugia, on 16 September. Mia throws up guidance, treatment routes and appropriateness rules, leaving the call and rapport with the patient to the clinician — AI in general practice that defers.
Société Générale — Société Générale has bound itself to Anthropic in an agreement it bills a decisive move towards corporate AI in banking, promising sharper output and better customer treatment. Group-wide moves should yield savings of 500 million to 600 million euros by 2029, 350 million already pinned down. The lender set it out in a roadmap from Paris on 21 September 2026, its firmest word on enterprise AI adoption.
Pensions Awareness Ireland — Pensions Awareness Ireland has released Ali, billed as the country's first AI retirement coach, to mark Pensions Awareness Week 2026. Ali takes a saver's age, chosen finishing age, gross yearly pay and monthly payments, then returns a dashboard setting out projected income. Schooled on the Irish pensions rules, the tool replies from that dashboard and shows whether a pot will fund the later life wanted — AI pension planning without an appointment.
Government of Spain — Spain AI policy now follows the IA360 Plan, a 12-month programme of concrete steps Pedro Sánchez unveiled to capture economic gains while putting safety, trust and protection of children and other vulnerable groups first. Measures span compute and new models, cybersecurity, schooling, jobs, data centres and oversight, plus an AI voucher for SMEs and freelancers. The national AI plan wants over half of companies using the technology by 2030.
Swiss Federal Chancellery — Switzerland AI policy for federal offices follows a new Federal Chancellery two-year roadmap keeping six of eight planned measures after funding shrank to 2 million francs. Work centres on mapping process gains, an in-house generative AI system and legal groundwork for administrative use. A handbook and office marketplace were scrapped, with the current project database serving this government AI programme instead.
INSTAT (Institute of Statistics of Albania) — INSTAT puts AI adoption in business at 12.4% of Albanian enterprises with 10 or more employees during 2026, against 9% in 2025. Corporate AI use at firms above 250 staff climbed from 24.8% to 28.1%. The 2,384-enterprise sample is the first under the revised NVE Rev. 2.1 classification.
Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic — The Ministry of Transport accepted the provisional EU approval of Tesla's FSD Supervised, a Czechia AI regulation step admitting partly automated driving to public roads. RDW, the Dutch authority, issued that clearance on 10 April 2026 under Regulation (EU) 2018/858; recognition rested on article 39. Classed SAE Level 2, the system keeps motorists alert, poised to intervene and wholly liable under these self-driving rules.
Microsoft (AI Diffusion Report) — Generative AI use reached 32.3% of Poles aged 15 to 64 in Q2 2026, up 1.3 percentage points on Q1, Microsoft's telemetry shows. That ranks 24th of 147 economies, level with Germany (32.3%), behind the United States (33.0%) and well above the 18.8% world rate. The AI adoption estimate is pooled and anonymised, not survey-based.
Supreme Court of the Russian Federation — Supreme Court chairman Igor Krasnov signed the Concept for introducing artificial intelligence technologies into court proceedings on 6 September, advancing Russia AI regulation. Judges keep the last word. These judicial AI rules target up to 95% of the court system using AI by 2030, with machine-drafted texts forming 30% to 50% of procedural documents.
Humppila municipality — Humppila has abolished its technical director and administrative director roles, leaving municipal manager Minna Ylikännö to cover part of the administrative brief with AI agents in local government. Those two deletions, tabled by the municipal board on 6 March, closed a 180,000-euro gap. Agendas and contract drafts are among the paperwork the software turns out. Ylikännö said on 18 September that town halls and employers must face municipal AI adoption trimming headcount.
Comune di Argenta — The Comune di Argenta switched on Civia on 18 September, an AI assistant for council services fielding queries about forms, cut-off dates and what the town has on. Type the query as you would speak it — a nursery place, Saturday's listings, a copy of a certificate — and Civia replies, 24 hours a day, across languages. Justomezzo, whose trade is public-sector messaging, built the municipal AI chatbot with machine-learning work from Momentum Digital.
Ministry of Health (Greece) — Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis launched MedWatch on Friday 18 September, setting AI in medical regulation on what doctors and clinics say about themselves online. The tool trawls medical association registries, Google Maps and Google Places, clinic sites, adverts on Meta, TikTok and Google and public profiles, then weighs every claim against the named practitioner's specialty, licence and lawful setting. Athens surgeries fell under the healthcare AI sweep straight away, the rest of Greece inside roughly 10 days.
Malta Gaming Authority — Malta AI regulation gained a gambling rulebook as the Malta Gaming Authority and the Malta Digital Innovation Authority unveiled the voluntary AI Gaming Charter. Licensees receive principles for accountable, transparent machine learning, shaped by industry polling, licensee talks and formal consultation. Operators already use such systems to protect players, spot fraud, serve customers and guide decisions; these AI rules for gaming sit beside the EU AI Act.
Government of Portugal (Ministry for State Reform) — Portugal's government will pilot AI in urban licensing before year-end in a few technologically prepared municipalities, Coimbra included, Minister for State Reform Gonçalo Matias said. Building and urbanisation law in force since 1 October permits electronic licensing, opening the way for AI-assisted planning permits.
Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND) — Two undisclosed chatbots, Robin and ChatIND, now handle AI asylum processing tasks for the Netherlands' Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), assisting roughly 230 workers with document summaries, translations and interview analysis since early 2026. Despite IND's stated transparency rules, neither tool appears in the country's official algorithm register. Critics among lawyers and researchers fear flawed outputs from AI-assisted asylum applications could distort decisions on refugee claims.
Driven Lawyers — Amsterdam now hosts the Netherlands' first AI-native law firm, Driven Lawyers, started by Arvid van Oorschot and Jelle Drok. Software named Driven Drafter powers this AI in legal services practice, baking founders' frameworks into drafts and tying results to checkable sources. Clients pay flat fees reflecting automation savings, across disputes, IP and contracts.
Nám (Faroese Education Authority) and Mentamálaráðið (Ministry of Culture) — Four Faroese bodies — Nám, Mentamálaráðið, Undirvísingarstýrið and Fróðskaparsetur Føroya — co-authored a new AI strategy for the Faroese education sector. Targets for 2027, 2029 and 2032 anchor four themes: classroom practice, exams, skills-building, and research. The launch signals the islands' opening move on AI in schools policy.
Ministry of Digital Transformation of the Republic of North Macedonia — A first draft national AI strategy from North Macedonia's Ministry of Digital Transformation is open for comment via the ENER portal, ahead of planned public hearings. Stefan Andonovski anticipates sign-off before 2026 closes, with the blueprint paving the way for a later artificial intelligence use law stressing responsible, values-driven deployment over restrictions on building the technology itself.
Regione Piemonte — Regione Piemonte has switched on Auxil.IA, a Csi Piemonte build putting AI for public administration into the hands of its workforce and town halls region-wide. Launched 17 September at the Grattacielo Piemonte alongside Paolo Zangrillo, Alberto Cirio and Csi Piemonte chief Pietro Pacini, it shortens files, weighs versions, writes up meetings, handles languages and parks everything in the Region's cloud. Councils may apply from 1 October, widening generative AI in local government.
Consorzio Vino Chianti — Consorzio Vino Chianti has loosed AI for wine fraud detection on the open web, twinning artificial intelligence with tracking software to catch knock-offs and misuse of the Chianti name. Giovanni Busi's body disclosed on Wednesday 16 September that the net is cast over marketplaces, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, sites, engines and domain registries. The ministerial scheme lasts to 20 January 2027, trademark enforcement AI.
Ayuntamiento de Ciudad Real — Spain's Ciudad Real City Council will buy a Municipal Artificial Intelligence Platform through a 447,700 euro, four-month contract. Staff are to apply AI for local government to resident enquiries, e-office casework and building permits, with the supplier configuring and linking these municipal AI tools.
Hellenic Court of Audit — Greece's Hellenic Court of Audit (Ελεγκτικό Συνέδριο) now runs an AI virtual assistant for judges, an AI-assisted judicial tool hunting through statutes and precedent to sort case files faster. Goal: shrink rulings from near 1,500 days to 600-650 days by end-2027. This came with a digital and energy revamp, moving filings and pre-contractual checks on public contracts fully online.
Danmarks Nationalbank — Companies that take up artificial intelligence subsequently recruit fewer people than similar non-users, Danmarks Nationalbank finds in fresh work on AI and employment built from unique Danish records. The pullback falls hardest on younger and better-educated candidates; pay has not moved. Nothing yet points to a fall in national employment, and the central bank expects none soon. Director Signe Krogstrup argued that a flexible labour market and deep digitalisation leave Denmark well placed to gain from the AI jobs effect.
Post Bellum — Post Bellum has thrown open the record of its Paměť národa collection: some 30,000 hours of survivor testimony, machine-transcribed and free to interrogate through a new AI assistant for oral history. Put a plain query rather than chase keywords, and the tool locates the passages that bear on it. Landing as Post Bellum and Paměť národa reach 25 years, the release carries the director's caution that no witness will be falsified by AI-assisted archive search.
Government of Portugal (Ministry of the Economy) — Castro Almeida, Portugal's Economy Minister, will launch AI training for workers via an October trial near Leiria, eventually meant to reach roughly 100,000 employees nationwide. Some 100 staff from assorted local firms make up the opening cohort, a template for expansion. Separately, five or six Marinha Grande mould makers get coaching on applying artificial intelligence skills.
Deloitte UK — Deloitte polled 25,000 people on workplace AI adoption and found 63% of workers already use such tools on the job. Nearly one in ten UK employees have tried software the employer forbids or would frown on. A similar share fear managers believe AI at work could replace them.
IKI — IKI is extending AI promotion planning to 250 supermarkets in Lithuania with SymphonyAI's Promotional Evaluation and Promotional Planning products. Category trials lifted promotional forecast accuracy by more than 10 percentage points and cut empty shelves, vendor-reported figures. Category management head Klavs Berzins says buyers now foresee demand, the point of retail demand forecasting.
City of Munich and Munich Police — Munich police and city officials in Germany put over 50 AI cameras at around 35 Oktoberfest spots for AI crowd monitoring, catching dangerous crowding early. Fraunhofer Institute staff read density and movement from footage anonymously. A new hub lets police, fire, rescue and transport crews steer visitors through that crowd analytics.
Federal Government of Belgium (Minister Vanessa Matz) — Vanessa Matz, the federal modernisation minister, has handed a draft national AI strategy to cabinet colleagues and the federated entities. Belgium AI policy must now win over coalition partners and regions before this proposed national framework gets adopted.
Italian Republic — Decreto Legislativo 160, dated 9 settembre 2026, squares national law with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Europe's artificial intelligence rulebook, and marks the sharp end of Italy AI regulation. It prescribes how police may run AI systems and pins down who bears civil and criminal liability. Gazzetta Ufficiale, Serie Generale 214 carried the Italian AI law on 15 September 2026, biting from 30 September 2026, after the Council of Ministers cleared both adaptation decrees on 4 August 2026 under article 24 of Law 132/2025.
The Adecco Group — The Adecco Group is giving 27,000 employees across over 40 countries Salesforce's Agentforce Coworker, bringing agentic AI in recruitment into routine work after UK and France pilots. Announced from Zurich, the tool assists selling, hiring and dealings with clients and candidates. Recruiter-facing AI agents already run in ten markets producing 50% of group revenue.
Ministry of Education, Science, Youth, Culture and Sports of Central Bosnia Canton — Central Bosnia Canton's Ministry of Education, Science, Youth, Culture and Sports will pilot AI teaching assistants through Roboznalac, backed by REZ under a Travnik agreement of 15 September 2026. Funded with 40,000 KM, halved between partners, until 15 December, workshops open the scheme; nine teachers and 30 students in Kiseljak, Travnik and Bugojno then build helpers for three subjects. A digital platform should later give every relevant teacher these classroom AI tools.
Conseil national des barreaux (CNB), with Jimini AI — The Conseil national des barreaux (CNB) is equipping all of France's trainee lawyers with Jimini AI, a legal AI assistant for trainee lawyers that reviews files, researches law and supports drafting. Bar schools are distributing personal log-ins in stages, alongside lessons on checking outputs, data safeguards and bias. Julie Couturier, the CNB's president, says newcomers should learn the software with judgement and respect for secrecy.
GESSEL — Harvey AI in legal document review is now firm-wide at GESSEL, a Polish law firm, woven into how it runs day to day. Beyond reviewing files, the system handles research, contract comparison and drafting, freeing senior staff for tasks needing real judgment. Marcin Macieszczak frames this AI-assisted contract drafting push as reshaping GESSEL's operations, not a bolt-on tech trial.
Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) — Spain's AEPD, the Spanish Data Protection Agency, has logged a first AI agent data breach: an autonomous attacker built on a widely known language model altered personal records and opened invoices. After probing generic files and signing in, the agent explored the application unaided until exploitable flaws surfaced. Neither victim nor model is identified, and details rest solely on the affected organisation's report, pending analysis of this agentic AI cyberattack.
Nederlandse Orde van Belastingadviseurs (NOB) — The Nederlandse Orde van Belastingadviseurs (NOB) puts daily AI use at roughly 80% of junior tax advisers in the Netherlands, 70% of mid-level and 53% of senior ones, across 799 respondents (700 AI users, 99 strategists). AI in tax advisory saves 45% one to three hours weekly. Still, 88% call output-quality doubts the main brake on tax practice AI.
Märkischer Kreis — Since 11 September the Märkischer Kreis has picked up at any hour, passing callers to Emka, an AI telephone assistant for citizen enquiries. Emka steers people towards the right desk, paperwork or colleague, works 365 days a year and copes with over 30 tongues. Outside opening times, weekends and bank holidays included, the district's AI switchboard fields the call; by day the human counter answers first.
Altai Krai Medical Information and Analytics Centre (AKMIATs) — Russia's Altai Krai medical information and analytics centre will install AI prescribing support for doctors under a 15.6 million rouble tender. Hooked up to the territory's healthcare information system, the software will screen orders, catch contraindications and harmful combinations and score side-effect risk. Bidding closes 22 September, delivery by 1 December 2026, and the Moscow region adopted comparable clinical decision support in February 2026.
Verne — Verne and Pony.ai put passengers into robotaxis with an empty driver's seat on Zagreb's public roads from 10 September 2026, which both firms call a European first. Driverless robotaxi rides trace a 22-kilometre corridor from Verne's base and a main city business district to Franjo Tudman Airport Zagreb. Since paid operations opened in April the autonomous fleet has covered over 200,000 kilometres and several thousand fare-paying rides, at a mean passenger score of 4.7 out of 5.
Gong — 50 of 78 leading public bodies in Croatia already use or test artificial intelligence while the Government does not, according to 'AI u javnom sektoru: Kako Hrvatska koristi umjetnu inteligenciju', the earliest systematic map of AI in the public sector anywhere in the country. Half of that group, 26 bodies, admitted to holding no internal rules governing its use. Gong compiled the survey between February and the close of August 2026 via freedom-of-information requests, logging 55 distinct AI solutions that run from Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT to biometric identification, medical diagnostics and the anonymisation of court decisions. Sergej Zupanic, who wrote it, called the picture of government AI use available beforehand fragmented and limited.
State Customs Committee of Belarus — Belarus's State Customs Committee plans a customs AI application shifting from electronic to "intelligent" processing, applying machine vision to shipping and commercial paperwork attached to declarations. The system will read and cross-check these documents against the declaration, plus scan vehicle images to match each vehicle against its past crossings and similar vehicles, flagging discrepancies to officers. This border control automation targets document and vehicle verification, surfacing anomalies for human review.
Carrefour Belgium — Two Waterloo sites, a hypermarket and a franchised Carrefour Market, mark Carrefour Belgium's rollout of AI shopping trolleys. Smart carts for grocery shopping, built from Instacart's Caper Cart, detect products on contact and weigh loose produce automatically.
Masarykova univerzita — Masarykova univerzita has built AI in higher education administration straight into IS MU, the system its students and staff already use for coursework and teaching logistics, rolling out new capabilities through September 2026. Plain-language queries about study or administrative matters can now be typed directly from the IS MU homepage, answered by a large language model in university information systems that runs on the institution's own servers so personal data never leaves campus. The university calls itself the first in the Czech Republic to embed such a model directly into its academic records platform, and one of the earliest examples anywhere in Europe, with teaching staff expected to shed some routine workload as a result.
University of Patras (KEDIVIM) — Greece's first university-certified cohort in AI in public administration wraps coursework this month and next, having started 29 June. The University of Patras's lifelong-learning centre backs the qualification, from the nation's first distance-based degree in this field. It sets a new benchmark for government AI credentialing nationwide.
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency — MHRA's National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare wants staged sign-off for new AI models, ongoing tracking of AI medical devices, open safety data, and tougher enforcement powers. Testimony from over 12,000 people across a year shaped this AI in healthcare regulation blueprint, aimed at medical AI systems oversight from approval onward.
Comunidad de Madrid — Comunidad de Madrid will use AI in chronic disease monitoring for close to 2 million patients through CRON-IA, a system flagging early warning signs in their records. Personaliz@ extends remote monitoring for hospital patients recovering at home via continuous assessment and clinical alerts, while PREVEN-IA builds digital twins from genomic, analytical, imaging and clinical data to forecast outcomes, an AI-based patient monitoring approach across three tools. Ayuso outlined the plan at the Madrid Assembly; none of the systems is installed yet, and these remain commitments rather than deployments.
Xebia — One in four Benelux organisations run AI agents in production, per Xebia's Data & AI Monitor 2026/2027 Benelux Edition (56 questions, 415 professionals, covering readiness, governance, sovereignty and trust) — part of a broader AI agents in the workplace shift across the Netherlands and Belgium. Assistant adoption climbs much higher, reaching 74%, yet faith in the technology hasn't caught up: merely 21% rank machine output alongside a human colleague's, while only 24% believe they can fully monitor what AI actually produces. Dependence on external vendors runs deep as well, with 81% describing themselves as reliant and 69% anxious about unsanctioned tool use spreading among staff.
Agency for Nature and Forests (Flanders) — Flanders' Agency for Nature and Forests says it will put cameras over protected land whose artificial intelligence reads the picture and picks out a rising plume of smoke. Validation runs through 2026 in North Limburg and other representative sites, with live trials this autumn and a staged roll-out from 2027 giving reserves AI wildfire detection. Minister Jo Brouns was blunt: every minute counts once a blaze starts, and early fire detection is the best chance of containing it.
The Property Franchise Group (TPFG) — TPFG is bringing AI in estate agency to the group's 1,900 franchised branches, boss Gareth Samples said, with 14 franchisees running roughly 25 offices on board, 50 more queued. Trial AI sales agents booked 25% more valuation appointments than usual methods, the company's own figure, across sales and lettings. Some 4,000 daily enquiries go unanswered in the UK network, the gap this property AI targets.
National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare — UK AI regulation could adopt staged authorisations, with new AI models run under tight supervision before sign-off, if the MHRA heeds the National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare. NHS consultant Professor Alastair Denniston chaired the year-long inquiry, drawing on over 12,000 people. Continuous real-world surveillance, tougher enforcement and searchable safety data on AI-enabled medical devices and adverse incidents round out this healthcare AI rulebook.
Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) — The Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) and IT Advanced Services (ITAS) built PathAI with a nearly 193,400-euro Innovation Fund of Montenegro grant, applying AI in pathology to digitised slides and helping pathologists recognise tumour tissue. PathAI's two-stage architecture detects tumours, then segments multi-class tissue; AI-assisted histopathology validation began with colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) and IT Advanced Services (ITAS) — Montenegro clinicians now get machine backup for spotting cancer in tissue slides: KCCG teamed with ITAS to build PathAI, software applying AI tumour diagnosis pathology to digitised histopathological samples. Nearly 200,000 euros from the Innovation Fund of Montenegro funded the pilot phase, aimed at colorectal adenocarcinoma. Final calls stay human — pathologists, not the cancer diagnosis software, make the diagnosis.
Moscow city health service — Moscow has given all district doctors in its adult polyclinics an AI note-taker, a voice assistant that fills in consultation records for more than 3,000 clinicians. Running in the background, it transcribes doctor–patient conversation and logs diagnoses, complaints, history and recommendations in the protocol, which the doctor reviews and confirms before signing. Deputy mayor Anastasia Rakova said earlier tests with neurologists more than doubled doctors' time with patients, and experts rated AI-written protocols 4.8 out of 5.
The G8 industry bodies of Guernsey — Guernsey's G8 industry bodies drew over 1,000 sign-ups in six days for the island's first AI Sprint, a six-week AI skills training scheme running 1 October to 12 November. More than 50 free events, from talks to hackathons and clinics, welcome beginners and executives in regulated fields, offering artificial intelligence training island-wide.
Tieto Austria and TQS Research & Consulting — Employers stay in the dark: research from Tieto Austria and TQS Research & Consulting puts covert workplace AI adoption at 17% of Austria's workforce, drawn from 795 employed people among 1,000 polled. Company-sanctioned tools alone satisfy only 23% of staff, whereas distrust of outputs and absent policy push 42% to skip AI use at work entirely.
Proximie and eight NHS hospital sites — Proximie's Intelligence Suite, a surgical AI platform, is going into 104 theatres, endoscopy suites and catheterisation labs at eight NHS sites in the United Kingdom, under a year-long evaluation with Amazon Web Services and Deloitte. Participating trusts, including University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire and Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, together handle 20,000-plus procedures yearly through this hospital operating theatre AI programme. The aim: shrink gaps between cases, not lengthen shifts. It records proceedings without interrupting clinicians, strips personal details automatically, and turns footage into data flagging where lists stall.
GC FSK — GC FSK, a Russian developer, runs 84 AI agents on Kamerton, its own platform for AI agents in real estate, across three areas including personal assistants and cost estimation modules. Property-sector agents handled 14,610 work tasks at a 97.7% success rate, half inside 90 seconds.
Ministry of Economy and Innovation (Albania) — Economy and Innovation Minister Delina Ibrahimaj told Tirana's Second Innovation Forum that AI adoption covers just 1.8% of Albanian enterprises, or 9% counting firms able to use it as well as those already doing so. Productivity across Albanian businesses sits at roughly a third of the EU average, and small and medium firms — 99.8% of enterprises, about 80% of jobs and 75% of value added — lag furthest behind. Closing that gap, Ibrahimaj argued, is exactly what the technology could help do.
Magyar Nemzeti Bank — Over 170 AI banking use cases now sit in Hungary's banking sector: operations, customer relationships, sales. Izer Norbert, who runs financial markets and digitalisation at the Magyar Nemzeti Bank, told the AI Summit 90 percent of domestic lenders use artificial intelligence already or mean to within twelve months. Eight big lenders each carry five or more active AI projects.
Office for IT and eGovernment — Serbia's Office for IT and eGovernment will launch an AI assistant for passport appointments by late September 2026, automating identity card and passport bookings on the eGovernment portal. Director Mihailo Jovanovic told RTS users will ask, in natural language, for the nearest police station opening. Testing is underway, with plans to extend this conversational AI for government services to school and kindergarten enrolment.
Bpifrance and the Direction générale des Entreprises — Over 35,000 companies in France engaged Bpifrance's Osez l'IA programme in year one, aided by 615 AI Ambassadors across 20 regions and 13 sectors. AI adoption in French business trails Paris's 2030 goals: just 70 Diagnostics Data IA assessments have begun against a 1,000 target, toward full uptake at large firms, 80% at SMEs and mid-caps, and 50% at micro-enterprises — AI uptake among SMEs still short.
Nationwide Building Society — Microsoft 365 Copilot now serves 1,000 finance staff at Nationwide Building Society, alongside 2,500 engineers on GitHub Copilot, under an organisation-wide rollout. 15 million customer records have also moved onto one cloud data platform, advancing AI in financial services and a broader banking AI transformation.
KIWI Finance — KIWI Finance has handed roughly 400 loan intermediaries agentic AI in lending, running FlowX.AI tools inside a sealed environment. One conversational agent halves onboarding for newcomers; an eligibility module doubles response speed for customers. Romania's biggest credit brokerage thus joins State Street, Banca Transilvania, OTP Group and UniCredit as a FlowX.AI production user of AI-assisted brokerage.
Allegro — Allegro has made a voice AI agent, built with ElevenLabs, the first point of contact on its Allegro Delivery hotline after a testing period. The agent answers questions on parcel collection and delivery status, and hands more complex cases to a hotline employee.
Ministry of Education and Sport (Albania) — Albania's Ministry of Education has issued a guide permitting AI in schools across every pre-university level starting this academic year, naming ChatGPT, Gemini and Full Fact as approved tools. Staff can lean on them for drafting materials, setting and grading work, and language help across subjects from languages to maths, art and sport, while pupils are pointed toward research and creative projects rather than direct answers. Handing in AI output as one's own breaches the new academic-integrity rules on AI tools for classroom use, and a teacher must still check everything the software produces before it counts.
UBS — Starting in 2027, UBS will reject graduate and intern applicants who cannot demonstrate AI skills in investment banking. Candidates must prove they can use AI tools to lift efficiency and results, a standard now placed next to the usual academic bar. UBS becomes one of the earliest banks to make artificial intelligence competency in banking a hiring gate rather than something learned on the job afterward.
French state (Ministry of Public Accounts) — The French state has pledged six million euros to Mistral AI across 2026 and 2027, buying AI for government administration across ministries. Les Échos broke the story on 2 September; the Ministry of Public Accounts confirmed a non-exclusive deal won by tender, with Mistral AI engineers posted into departments. Cybersecurity, fraud hunting and clearing bulk caseloads at the Ministry of Justice lead this public-sector AI push.
Nemocnica Malacky — Nemocnica Malacky's refurbished suite now holds Slovakia's first Philips Ingenia Ambition X, using Dual AI software for AI MRI scanning. The 1.4-million-euro system speeds AI-assisted magnetic resonance imaging and sharpens pictures, rebuilding frames and correcting breathing motion. Its 70-centimetre bore gives patients more room.
Supreme Court of the Russian Federation — Russian courts across several regions are piloting four large language models trained using judicial practice, Supreme Court Chairman Igor Krasnov says. This test of AI in courts draws on legal positions and practice-forming rulings. The Supreme Court also endorsed a court AI integration concept and created a Centre for Judicial Competences in AI.
Ministry of National Defence of Lithuania — Lithuania's Ministry of National Defence issued a roughly €5 million procurement for AI airspace surveillance, merging military sensors, radars and other agencies' feeds live. Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas expects stronger air-threat warning and response by state institutions from this AI drone detection network. Piloting begins early 2027, full sensor coverage follows within 2027, and NATO allies' platforms connect by 2028.
Chalmers University of Technology — Chalmers University of Technology researchers found in a preprint, not yet peer reviewed, that 9.4 per cent of motions tabled in Sweden's Riksdag in the 2025–26 parliamentary year had at least one paragraph judged to be written with generative AI. None of these uses was openly declared. The detectors were trained on Swedish and British parliamentary texts from before chatbots, and show the share climbing from near zero in 2021–22.
Swiss Parliamentary Services — Swiss federal parliamentarians are getting PIA, an in-house AI assistant, for the autumn session. Users include council members and their personal staff, Parliamentary Services employees and parliamentary group staff; for now it works best on committee documents rather than internet research. Swisscom runs the project, keeping operation and data storage in Switzerland, with up to CHF 150,000 budgeted for a roughly year-long pilot.
T-Mobile Czech Republic — T-Mobile has cut AI customer support resolution times in Czechia by up to 28 minutes per live-chat request, using the Sprinklr platform and its AI assistant, versus roughly 80 first-quarter users. Over 500 staff now access the tool, which surfaces information and drafts replies. This marks a scale-up in AI-assisted customer service, though the savings figures are not independently verified.
Human Resources Management Authority of Montenegro — Montenegro's Human Resources Management Authority and the Regional School of Public Administration opened Next Gen Gov: three-month, full-time AI training for civil servants that spans data analytics, programming and UI/UX design. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić wants the civil service AI upskilling to equip officials to lead digital transformation and apply AI responsibly.
Government of Sweden — Sweden AI regulation gained an inquiry under Dir. 2026:116: special investigator Lisa Englund Krafft will settle how the public access principle applies when agencies run artificial intelligence and external cloud services. She must map practice, decide if material in such tools counts as official records, and test whether rules for public-sector AI obstruct uptake, reporting by 15 November 2027.
Uber — Uber and Wayve have launched supervised autonomous rides in London, the first self-driving trips offered in the United Kingdom. Riders booking UberX, Uber Electric or Uber Comfort may be matched at no extra cost with a Wayve car, an all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E with Wayve AI Driver and surround sensors. A trained, TfL-licensed private hire driver oversees each trip, and a small fleet serves the city at first, airports excluded.
Spitalul Judeţean de Urgenţă Piatra-Neamţ — Romania's Piatra-Neamţ County Emergency Hospital has placed an AI hologram at the doorway of its specialist outpatient department. The virtual assistant gives patients doctors' names and hours, specialities, consulting rooms, wards and the papers needed for a consultation, to ease routine questions at reception. A day after launch, local paper Mesagerul de Neamţ saw patients walk past it to the desk, because the hologram can talk but cannot book appointments.
Tartu University Hospital — Tartu University Hospital ran BMVision Kidney beside routine reporting by radiologists for half a year, and AI kidney cancer detection flagged malignancies in four patients whose tumours those readers had overlooked. Clinician and software together reached 99.2 percent sensitivity, with about 800 scans crossing the system monthly. Priit Salumaa, chief executive of Better Medicine, the Estonian firm behind this radiology AI, described what was built as a second pair of eyes hunting for the disease.
Politie Gent — Politie Gent's new AI chatbot in policing answers residents 24 hours a day on the force's site, following months of trials. It greets visitors as the Ghent force's assistant, handling routine queries so officers, per the force, gain more room for genuine face-to-face contact — part of a wider shift toward AI in law enforcement.
Peaasi.ee — Estonia's Peaasi.ee has rolled out AI mental health counselling through Peabot, a free, anonymous chatbot available around the clock beside its human chat line, built on a Finnish model. Peabot answers only from pre-checked expert content instead of freely generated text. Project manager Anna-Liisa Leppik warns ordinary AI counselling chatbot tools can mislead struggling users with unsafe answers, but says Finland's example proves one designed with mental health specialists can offer comfort without cutting out real human contact.
Legal Benchmarks — Dutch Legal AI Adoption Survey (DELTA) — Just 32.2% of 115 practitioners across 19 Dutch organisations say a single prompt normally yields AI output for legal research they can use straight away; 67.8% put first-pass usefulness at half the time or less. Uptake is nonetheless deep, with 63.5% querying such tools daily and 98.3% weekly. Legal Benchmarks ran the Dutch Legal AI Adoption Survey for DELTA, with vendor Zeno as founding partner.
Government of Hungary — Hungary AI regulation now falls under the Minister of Science and Technology rather than the Minister of Economy and Energy, after a new government decree strips market surveillance duties from the latter and hands them to the former. Government Decree No. 139/2026 (VIII.31.) makes the switch official, amending the earlier Gov. Decree 90/2026 (V.13.) through a freshly inserted Section 168/A. The reassignment had effectively already happened before this paperwork caught up, since the supervisory body's own website was already presenting itself as answering to the Ministry of Science and Technology. The decree simply confirms, on paper, which ministry now carries responsibility for policing artificial intelligence products in the market.
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust — The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) have opened the Manchester Sandbox, a testbed for AI medical devices running inside genuine NHS care under regulatory watch so real-world data builds beyond what trials alone show. Devices topping the list use AI to flag people whose long-term conditions carry a raised risk of complications, joined by wearables and ambient voice tech unveiled at the launch on MFT's Oxford Road Campus. Regulators, innovators and patient groups will later meet at a roundtable to choose which AI-enabled medical devices testbed projects come next.
Sidley Austin (London) — Sidley Austin puts every London trainee through a four-month rotation in the AI Knowledge Lab under a six-seat contract.

University of Klagenfurt — The University of Klagenfurt is offering every student Academic AI, a free data-protection-compliant AI assistant for students, from the 2026/27 winter semester, for exam preparation, programming, drafting texts and structuring content. The university has no access to students' prompts or chats, and about 30 minutes of basic AI training on Moodle is required before first use.
Broadcast Solutions — Broadcast Solutions produced the inaugural Franz Beckenbauer Supercup's tactical feed with automated camera production systems from Studio Automated, plus Egripment equipment. The company says the systems delivered the tactical coverage but gave no detail on the automation behind it.
State Duma — Russia's first federal AI law took effect on 1 September 2026, after the State Duma passed it on 8 July. It governs AI development, deployment and use, and separates 'sovereign' models, made entirely by a Russian company and developed, trained and stored in domestic data centres, from 'national' ones that may use foreign open-source components. Both gain status only once the government confirms they fit what the law calls traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.
CARNET — CARNET, the Croatian Academic and Research Network, has finished a school AI curriculum spanning primary year five to the end of secondary, closing with 'Umjetna inteligencija: od koncepta do primjene' for third and fourth years. Uptake in 2025/2026 reached 121 primary and 84 secondary schools — extracurricular lower down, an elective above — at 35 hours a year. AI teaching in schools grew from CARNET's nearly 16 million euro project 'Podrska primjeni digitalnih tehnologija u obrazovanju - BrAIn'.
Seznam.cz — Seznam has switched on AI agent shopping across Zboží.cz, its Czech price-comparison platform, as a pilot.

Compatible retailers are joining gradually, and Seznam plans to extend this automated buying feature sitewide.
Český telekomunikační úřad — Czech AI regulation now has a dedicated enforcer: Český telekomunikační úřad, the country's telecoms watchdog, has opened a standalone unit to police artificial intelligence systems. Anna Hroudová heads the team, having moved over from the Confederation of Industry and Transport of the Czech Republic, joined by three colleagues covering law, technology and analytics. Once enabling legislation clears parliament, the unit inherits authority to enforce the European AI Act, the bloc's framework for EU AI Act implementation, giving the regulator real supervisory bite over AI in practice.
Comune di Pieve Ligure — Comune di Pieve Ligure has deployed 43 artificial intelligence systems for AI in local government, cross-checking municipal paperwork against regulations and flagging discrepancies to staff. Trialled across the general secretariat, local police and technical office, the tool won over staff, so the council funded a wider rollout using the ordinary budget. Small municipalities like this one, population roughly 2,500, rely on AI for municipal administration where single employees often run entire offices alone.
Högskolan på Åland — Högskolan på Åland's Light in the Dark project has produced Tourism Business Idea Generator, an AI for tourism businesses tool with a €20,000 budget.

High Court and Court of Appeal of Ireland — Practice Direction HC 142 (Mr Justice David Barniville, President of the High Court) and Practice Direction CA 16 (Ms Justice Caroline Costello, President of the Court of Appeal) set Ireland AI regulation for generative AI in court documents. Users answer for their filings and must protect the integrity of proceedings. Breaches risk adverse costs orders, rejected documents or a struck-out claim or defence; practitioners face referral to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority or their professional body.
Armed Forces of Montenegro — Digital Adjutant, a new AI system for military command staff, was built in-house by Montenegro's Armed Forces for information analysis, legal drafting and document preparation. Minister Dragan Krapović said military IT specialists created it to ease administrative workload and free personnel for harder duties. Defence officials called it a domestic AI capability for national defence, keeping sensitive data under full digital sovereignty instead of foreign systems.
Albanian government (Smart City project) — Twenty schools in Tirana, Albania now run AI school security cameras under a Smart City initiative from Prime Minister Edi Rama. Rather than merely storing footage, the system spots and alerts staff to suspicious activity as it happens. The capital's 20 sites mark the programme's opening stage, ahead of any wider rollout of smart surveillance cameras in schools.
German Federal Government — Berlin now hosts a freshly launched AI safety institute: AISI Germany, folding BSI's cybersecurity expertise together with the Federal Network Agency's former remit over operational safety of AI systems, all under one national AI safety body. A June 2026 resolution from the National Security Council brought it into being, with joint command shared between the Federal Ministry of Digital and the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Holding no sanctioning power, it instead weighs each AI model's dangers against its upsides, steering government, administration and industry as an analytical hub.
Sainsbury's — Sainsbury's says it will extend Facewatch facial-recognition technology for loss prevention to about 200 stores in 2026, following a false shoplifting accusation against a customer.

Asda's own pilot figures, not independently evaluated, show over £100,000 of goods recovered, incident reporting cut from about 25 minutes to under five and crime-prevention rates up 55%. Chief operating officer David Lepley said staff now report incidents and identify repeat offenders faster.
DOBA Business School — Slovenia tops the AI maturity index among Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia, scoring 50.85 out of 100 in DOBA's DAIMI 2026 survey - nearest of the three to the 'integrated' benchmark. Firms were surveyed between March and May 2026 across five dimensions: strategy, governance, workforce skills, deployment and business impact. Even progress on all fronts drives this AI adoption readiness lead, rather than strength in one area.
PostNL — PostNL is deploying AI agents to automate administrative and support work under what it calls an 'AI-first' strategy, speeding process automation and standardisation. The work sits in a cost-savings plan now up to €180 million, including about €75 million extra across 2027 and 2028. Chief executive Pim Berendsen said this makes the cost base more competitive; no AI products were named.
Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA) — Under Estonia AI regulation, the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA) will serve as competent authority overseeing AI Act compliance. Its explainer covers in-scope goods, sectors and eight prohibited AI practices. TTJA may demand providers' training datasets, logs and source code under this national AI rulebook.
Cassa Forense / Censis — Rapporto sull'Avvocatura 2026 — AI adoption by lawyers jumped from 27.5% to 55.3% within twelve months, peaking at 70.3% for younger advocates, per the Rapporto sull'Avvocatura 2026 from Cassa Forense and Censis. Over 30,000 questionnaires plus records on 228,641 fund members, 211,464 still practising, underpin the uptake figures.
Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP) — A new poll shows 78% of firms at Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP) have woven artificial intelligence into daily operations, reflecting broad AI adoption in Moldova IT Park. Researchers surveyed nearly 2,800 businesses between April and May 2026: 37% run it organisation-wide, 41% apply it to select tasks, 10% are trialling it, and 11% reported none. Findings point to workplace AI tools spreading across Moldova's tech sector.
Government of Slovenia / AKOS — AKOS now enforces AI transparency rules in Slovenia under Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. Providers and deployers of AI systems that interact with people, or generate synthetic content, must flag the AI's involvement or the output's artificial origin. AKOS, Slovenia's Communications Networks and Services Agency, is also the country's AI Act disclosure obligations contact point.
Czech Telecommunication Office — From 2 August 2026 the Czech Telecommunication Office, among the market surveillance bodies the Czech Republic has designated, spelled out how the AI transparency rules of the AI Act bite. Anyone supplying a chatbot must tell people they are dealing with a machine, and supplier output carries a machine-readable mark; operators label only deepfakes and AI-made material touching the public interest. Biometric and emotion-recognition kit obliges its operator to notify every person subjected to it, and enforcement of Article 50 can fall to the European AI Office instead.
Czech National Bank — A central bank AI unit is taking shape within the Czech National Bank's information technology arm under Janis Aliapulios, pooling capacity the institution already holds into one coordinating team and adding no posts overall. Governor Aleš Michl put the headcount reduction at 5 percent, attributing the departures not to poor performance but to the same work becoming achievable more productively — the governor's own account, with no published external assessment of any link to the in-house AI capability. Grok and OpenAI were tried against inflation forecasts during 2025, MiCA licence files now pass through such tools, and servers carrying Nvidia graphics cards have been purchased.
Macfarlanes — Macfarlanes fund formation teams now handle investor side letters and MFN processes on ProVision, an AI side letter automation tool that cuts manual effort. Partner Pete Chapman expects lawyers to spend more time on strategy and commercial judgement as administration shrinks.
University of Verona — The University of Verona is trialling ChatGPT Edu with professors and young researchers ahead of AI-literacy courses. Those courses on AI skills start next academic year.
Government of Malta — Malta's new Artificial Intelligence Governance Council, led by Chief AI Officer Jonathan Gerada, now steers government-wide AI adoption in the public sector. The council unites public administration representatives to turn oversight decisions into concrete action, prioritising public value over cost reduction. This reflects Malta's approach to AI governance in government, favouring coordinated implementation over savings-driven deployment.
Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Serbia — Serbia's Ministry of Justice has drafted a Law on Personal Data Protection setting first-time AI data protection law rules for handling personal information within artificial intelligence systems, part of the country's broader AI governance regulation push. High-risk systems require an impact assessment plus the Commissioner's opinion before use; minimal-risk tools face no such demand. Synthetic audio and video need clear labelling, with public comment open until 10 September.
Raad van Discipline 's-Hertogenbosch (Dutch lawyers' disciplinary board) — A Limburg advocate has been reprimanded by the Raad van Discipline 's-Hertogenbosch, a disciplinary ruling on AI that followed her pasting fabricated or misattributed precedents from LegalPA into two tenancy disputes. Of eight authorities in one brief, a single ECLI reference was invented and seven matched other matters. Breaching expertise and integrity cost €1,250 in fees; the board weighed that such skills were still rare in July 2025.
Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Canarias — Sala de lo Penal — The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Canarias has penalised an advocate 840 euros, a sanction for AI-invented case law after judges traced at least 25 bogus citations credited to the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court. Automated tools never excuse skipping checks, the chamber said, referring the unrepentant lawyer to the Lanzarote bar. In February the same bench imposed 420 euros over 48 fake authorities.
Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) — Ireland's Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) has published the first national guidance on safe, responsible AI in health and social care, commissioned by the Department of Health. New AI must be judged safe and trustworthy before use, and HIQA calls accountability the foundation, requiring clear accountability lines and robust governance for every AI use.
Ministry of Education of Belarus — Belarus grades six to nine now cover AI in schools under Ministry of Education resolution No. 132, dated 22 July 2026, effective 1 September 2026. Grade eight gets a unit explaining how AI systems in the classroom function and guiding pupils toward responsible, appropriate use, across 139 weekly hours total.
German Federal Government — Germany AI regulation now runs through KI-MIG, the AI Market Surveillance and Innovation Promotion Act, live since 29 July 2026 after Bundestag passage on 11 June and Bundesrat clearance on 10 July. BNetzA leads as watchdog, EU AI Office contact, and complaints handler under the EU AI Act. A built-in sandbox backs AI Act enforcement Germany, letting firms trial systems under supervision.
Government Office of Estonia — The Government Office has opened a five million euro tender for AI skills training, seeking at least 100,000 working-age residents through one Eesti.ai workshop or learning bite during 2026 and 2027. Each participant takes two four-hour sessions, 75 percent plus face to face and offered in every county, open to workers from 18; some 65 percent of places go to existing AI users, 30 percent to beginners and five percent to the advanced. A three-month pilot ran April to June before this AI literacy programme, which sits under "Kõige AI-targem rahvas" and drew 5.2 of the 11 million euros Eesti.ai won from the June supplementary budget, after the Estonian government's January start.
Telekom Srbija — Telekom Srbija, Serbia's leading telecoms operator, has rolled out SAS Customer Intelligence 360, SAS Intelligent Decisioning and SAS Viya to unify AI in telecom marketing for over 8 million customers.

Polish Parliament and President of Poland — Poland's Sejm passed the Act on Artificial Intelligence Systems on 11 June 2026, the country's implementation of Poland AI regulation under the EU AI Act; President Andrzej Duda signed it into Polish law on 27 July 2026. It sets up the Commission for Development and Safety of Artificial Intelligence (KRiBSI) as market surveillance authority, creates regulatory sandboxes, and mandates AI-generated content labelling. The AI Systems Act Poland rules apply in stages from July 2026.
Minsk City Executive Committee — Minsk will add AI contact centre agents to the 115.bel housing hotline before the year is out, said Maksim Bardovich, who directs the Minsk City Executive Committee's Information Technology Centre. The agent-bots should shorten how long a request takes to handle and an answer to draft, sparing residents a queue. The hotline logged over 850,000 reports in the first half of 2026, routing them to city services.
Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs — Serbia's Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs put its first AI assistant for social protection queries, Radoslav, live on the eGovernment portal on 23 July 2026, running 24/7 without collecting personal data. The tool answers, conversationally, questions on qualifying for child support, family allowances and other welfare payments, plus application steps. Running on domestic infrastructure, including the Kragujevac supercomputer, the AI-powered social welfare chatbot clarifies rules rather than ruling on claims, leaving final decisions to human caseworkers.
Agel — Agel has installed certified AI colonoscopy support at 12 gastroenterology centres across Slovakia and the Czech Republic. MAIA Labs software marks suspicious lesions on live endoscope video. Agel-cited clinical studies credit AI-assisted colonoscopy with a near-40% Adenoma Detection Rate gain and 61% more precancerous lesions found per examination.
Barreau de Paris (Paris Bar) — Conseil de l'Ordre — The Paris Bar's Council of the Order has issued a template AI charter for law firms across the capital, under the Vers un barreau souverain plan. Agentic systems, oversight by people, checking outputs, confidential files and secrecy are addressed, dovetailing with the RIN, RIBP, GDPR and EU AI Act. Bâtonnier Louis Degos wants practices to embrace the shift ethically; this voluntary model is a benchmark each office may tailor.
Stadt Rüsselsheim am Main — Rüsselsheim am Main will introduce AI minute-taking from notes or audio, a semantic search and dialogue tool spanning archives, meeting papers and project documents, and an email assistant that sorts and ranks messages, part-drafts replies and condenses long threads. Hesse's state secretary for digital affairs handed the mayor 309,000 euros for the project under the Starke Heimat Hessen programme. The three tools will run on a German-based sovereign public-administration platform and later be reusable by other municipalities.
CRIDO — CRIDO, Poland's largest law and advisory firm, now runs an AI workspace for lawyers powered by Wolters Kluwer's Libra platform. Staff handle case research, contract review and routine consulting through this AI-powered legal research tool, launched once an internal champions group had tested and compared competing options over several months.
Clifford Chance — Clifford Chance puts firmwide AI adoption above 90%, the outcome of spending on AI, tech-enabled delivery tools, infrastructure and in-house specialists woven into everyday client workflows. Behind that uptake, the firm sits in the first cohort of the Harvard Business School AI Institute and Microsoft Frontier Firm AI Initiative.
Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine — Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, with Ukrainian developer Kitsoft, has added a voice-based government AI assistant feature to Diia.AI. Citizens can now speak queries and hear spoken replies instead of typing, and can switch between voice and text mid-conversation without restarting. The rollout extends this voice-enabled government AI service to make public administration accessible without typing or literacy barriers.
Oireachtas (Irish Parliament) — Ireland's Oireachtas has handed the country a dedicated AI regulator: the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Act 2026 (Number 31 of 2026) creates the AI Office of Ireland, Oifig IS na hÉireann, tasked with enforcing the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) locally. This Irish AI regulation assigns market-watchdog duties to named bodies, opens sandboxes for testing high-risk systems under real conditions, and rolls out a public register, one-stop contact point, complaint-handling steps and penalties, together forming the state's new AI oversight framework.
Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) — The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has issued Spain AI regulation guidance: a technical note on data accuracy, suitability and quality where Artificial Intelligence processes personal data. This AI regulatory guidance examines how GDPR accuracy and minimisation principles bear on AI systems, and recommends steps to secure data quality for AI training and operations.
Austrian Federal Chancellery — Austria's Federal Chancellery has begun rolling out GovGPT, a sovereign AI assistant for civil servants, starting in the Chancellery and moving department by department. Staff draft texts, condense long documents and build searchable knowledge libraries, with queries and uploads processed on Federal Computing Centre infrastructure instead of a public chatbot. The Ministry of Finance followed from 21 July and the consumer protection, care, health, social affairs and labour ministry on 28 July, targeting 180,000-plus federal employees.
Hellenic Parliament — Under Law 5321/2026, Greece rolls out Greece AI regulation via EU AI Act implementation for Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Oversight splits between the Hellenic Data Protection Authority for market surveillance and the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission as notifying authority, alongside a sandbox, an AI Observatory and a public-sector systems registry. Stripping transparency labels from deepfake content now carries criminal liability.
Courts Service of Ireland — A June 2026 review rated the Courts Service of Ireland's judicial Case AI Assistant proof of concept unfit for purpose, and other trials stalled before production over unacceptable accuracy, completeness or risk. The public information chatbot returned wrong or partial answers, while the staff chatbot was never switched on. Court AI guidance is now being drafted with judges through the Judicial AI Group.
praca.by — AI job search runs deep among Belarusians, praca.by found: 29.5% do so routinely, 24.4% have tried neural networks on a vacancy at least once, and 20.7% mean to try. A quarter refuse outright. Of users, 63% build CVs and covering letters this way, 53% rehearse interviews, 47% dig into employers and 44% pick apart adverts. Only 12% would hand AI-assisted jobhunting the entire task.
Jersey Financial Services Commission — Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) folds AI regulation in Jersey's finance sector into duties already binding on firms, bypassing any bespoke regime built solely for artificial intelligence. Its stance remains proportionate and risk-based, stretching current requirements to reach AI in financial services: oversight structures, human review, data stewardship and continuous scrutiny.
Banca d'Italia — Frontier artificial intelligence models bring fresh security threats, says Bank of Italy, urging prompt AI risk management in banking. Lenders must spot weak points and toughen defences, a push linked to the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act, broadening AI risk oversight in financial services under DORA's mandate.
Albanian Ministry of Interior (State Police) — Albania's Ministry of Interior has switched on AI policing in Albania spanning 873 sites: 12 Regional Police Directorates, 24 major cities, 28 border crossings and 20 Tirana schools all feed one Smart City command and control centre. Software there flags behaviour it judges dangerous or unlawful and raises an alert for officers to act on, and Interior Minister Besfort Lamallari insists the system amounts to more than cameras.
Военномедицинска академия (Military Medical Academy), Sofia — The urology clinic of Bulgaria's Military Medical Academy has introduced VENUS, AI surgical navigation that segments the target organ automatically, and performed four highly specialised procedures on day one. The academy calls itself the country's first medical centre using it.
INPS (National Social Security Institute) — Italy's national social security institute, INPS, lists 59 AI systems classified under AgID guidelines in its 2026 annual report, bringing AI in social security to a multi-agent conversational chatbot and certified-email routing. The routing system automatically directed 70.4% of 5.4 million messages analysed from April 2021 to April 2026 with 87% overall accuracy, and generative AI helps staff check reimbursement documents in the Estate Inpsieme welfare programme.
Andorra Recerca + Innovació — Andorra Recerca + Innovació heads the pilot in BOSPIR-3D, an Interreg POCTEFA scheme trialling AI forest monitoring with LiDAR, drones and short-range scanners across high-mountain woodland. Teams opened work at Beixalís, La Rabassa and Arinsal following an April kick-off. Virtual reality joins artificial intelligence in reading and displaying the forest inventory data.
Consell General — The Consell General passed Penal Code revisions without dissent, tightening Andorra AI regulation: buying child sexual abuse imagery online, AI-generated included, draws prostitution-level penalties. Those AI content rules join a consent age lifted from 14 to 16. Justice and Interior Minister Ester Molné tabled the qualified laws.
Royal Gibraltar Police — The Government of Gibraltar has brought Live Facial Recognition into round-the-clock service along the reopened frontier and further priority sites, with the Royal Gibraltar Police as data controller. A heavy volume of stills ran through AI face matching in week one, flagging nobody on a police watchlist. Recordings are kept to prevent and detect crime and protect public safety and national security. Chief Minister Fabian Picardo rates the technology estate, facial recognition included, as holding up well.
K&H Innovation Index — Corporate AI adoption in Hungary has reached a high in the K&H Innovation Index: 58 percent of firms turning over at least 300 million forints run some AI-based solution, and those building their own rose from 24 percent a half-year earlier to 36 percent. Phone interviews with 360 innovation managers ran from 14 April to 6 May. Thin skills, plus data protection and confidentiality worries, still brake adoption, cited by 66 and 52 percent of would-be AI users.
Government of Iceland (Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs) — Microsoft Copilot is spreading through Icelandic state institutions under a three-year Microsoft agreement with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, driving a coordinated push for AI in government services.

The changes aim to keep controls resilient as artificial intelligence in financial crime compliance evolves.
Rohlik Group — Rohlik bills the new offering as among Europe's earliest AI shopping apps living inside ChatGPT. Ordinary conversation covers finding goods, turning up recipes, assembling or revising a basket, and steering a whole order to completion. Rohlik's in-house Model Context Protocol server enables the hookup and reaches others, alongside Maia, the grocer's own conversational shopping tool; no user or order counts are given.
CMS (UK LLP) — CMS has run Harvey firmwide since December 2025, having adopted the platform in 2024, and Microsoft Copilot reaches every office, says Adrian Bell, UK managing partner. Non-partner staff can win AI bonuses worth up to £5,000, paid from December 2026, and CMS: Ignite drew over 400 ideas.
Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) — Two new instruments from the Dutch Data Protection Authority, AP, tackle AI GDPR compliance: technical guidance for developers and a self-assessment checklist letting organisations judge their own readiness before rolling out generative AI. Lawful bases, required protections and record-keeping duties under the GDPR run through both. AP separately revived its earlier consultation opinion on Microsoft 365 Copilot, tying personal data protection in generative AI back to that regulatory approach.
Swisscom — Swisscom is piloting an AI system named KIRA that analyses customer conversations in three Swiss retail branches, located in Bern, Aarau and Lausanne, as part of a broader push toward AI in retail customer service. Motion sensors monitor shopper movement while microphones capture sales discussions with customer consent, and anonymised transcripts are then reviewed through AI-driven retail analytics to surface what shoppers are actually seeking. The trial is scheduled to last two to three months, and if it proves effective, Swisscom intends to roll KIRA out to 10 to 15 branches by the end of the year.
Regierungsrat, Canton of Zurich — The Canton of Zurich's government says it will make two piloted tools permanent across its administration: TranscriboZH, for AI transcription of audio and video, and KlartextZH, a plain-language text simplifier. Decided on 9 July 2026 (Regierungsratsbeschluss Nr. 749/2026), the step belongs to SynerKI, a cross-departmental project that will also build a central AI service platform for handling protected data. The Regierungsrat approved 2.76 million francs one-off and 3.87 million francs a year in running costs.
Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina — The Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina has cleared ratification of the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law, the earliest binding treaty anywhere on using artificial intelligence. Bosnia and Herzegovina AI regulation gains no home-grown statute: consent, carried in the Official Gazette - International Treaties number 5/26 of 9 July 2026, ties the state to an outside legal framework that institutions and later rules must deliver. Signature came on 9 December 2025 in Strasbourg, settling the terms of national AI oversight.
Freshfields, CMS, Houthoff, DLA Piper, NautaDutilh, Loyens & Loeff (FD survey) — Clients answer basic queries with AI themselves, so routine legal work such as contract upkeep and boilerplate reviews is drying up, Freshfields, CMS, Houthoff, DLA Piper, NautaDutilh and Loyens & Loeff told Het Financieele Dagblad. Income has held so far: Houthoff rose from €136 million in 2024 to €152 million in 2025 despite the shift.
Shoosmiths — Shoosmiths staff have sent about 1.7m prompts to Microsoft Copilot, chief operating officer Rachel Reid and director of IS Dawn Faulkner said on Legal IT Insider's Inside View podcast, crediting training and governance for Copilot adoption. Project Apollo, an in-house contract review build, and planned agents on Microsoft and SAP featured.
Luxembourg Ministry of Digitalisation — Luxembourg's Ministry of Digitalisation put an AI chatbot government services tool live on Guichet.lu, the country's citizen portal, on 6 July 2026, under the AI4Lux campaign led by Minister Stéphanie Obertin.

Albanian Government (Prime Minister Edi Rama) — 140 senior civil servants across Albania's ministries have joined an AI training programme civil servants will rely on for sharper judgement and quicker decisions, Prime Minister Edi Rama said at Public Administration Week's third edition. This initial batch will grow into wider AI civil service training reaching other state bodies.
Niederer Kraft Frey — Niederer Kraft Frey is giving lawyers in every practice Legora after tests run by its legal tech team. Bertrand Schott, partner and executive committee lead for legal tech and AI, says the legal AI rollout succeeds through coaching and use cases, not licences.
Skatteverket and Försäkringskassan — Sweden's tax agency Skatteverket and social insurance agency Försäkringskassan have begun trial operation of AI-verkstaden, a shared AI workshop that helps agencies, municipalities and regions build and use AI. Ten pilot organisations joined first, including Region Halland and Mörbylånga municipality, testing redaction, transcription and digital-assistant AI services. The pilots were picked to span different sizes and levels of technical maturity, the agencies said.
State Election Commission — Croatia's State Election Commission has opened GlasAI, an AI chatbot for elections fielding public questions on ballots, referendums and the commission's remit, built with the Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation. Reachable at izbori.hr under a stylised ballot-box-and-headset icon, the electoral assistant has replied 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since 1 July 2026.
College van Toezicht of the Flemish bar (stafhouders of the Vlaamse balies) — Bar presidents (stafhouders) across Flanders receive more grievances against lawyers drafted wholly or partly with AI, per the Flemish bar's College van Toezicht annual report, and these AI-generated complaints often cite inapplicable, non-existent or Dutch rules. Longer filings slow handling. From 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025 opened disciplinary files reached 426, up from 268, with 266 dismissed and 39 sent to the disciplinary council; presidents want shared AI-grievance guidance, not filing hurdles.
Simmons & Simmons — Simmons & Simmons is extending Legora firm-wide, a legal AI platform beside Percy and Copilot, the existing generative tools. Alex Brown, Head of TMT and AI executive sponsor, reports hundreds of agents running inside the firm. Emily Monastiriotis, Global Managing Partner, sees an AI-enabled law firm as the goal.
Sberbank — Sberbank expects AI in banking to deliver a 550 billion ruble economic effect across all business lines in 2026, CEO German Gref told shareholders. He linked AI adoption in banking to stronger revenue from personalised offers, sharper pricing, lower credit risk and tighter cost control, adding that AI agents already produce credit proposals for 96% of corporate borrowers.
Racine — Racine has made Legora routine for months, an AI deployment at a law firm spanning every team and grade instead of a trial. A partner committee steered the effort with tailored scenarios, coaching and change management, and Jean-Christophe Beaury says half a year of firm-wide adoption has sharpened analysis and lifted productivity.
BonelliErede — BonelliErede has taken up Harvey, an AI adoption at a law firm announced as the vendor opened a Milan team. Eliana Catalano, managing partner, says a dedicated task force must clear any such platform because security and data worries surfaced early. Marcello Giustiniani, who chairs the beLab subsidiary, says the tools help lawyers grasp a client's situation rather than write the deed.
Gianni & Origoni — Gianni & Origoni budgets 2,000 to 4,500 euros yearly per lawyer on AI subscriptions for its 550 lawyers, co-managing partner Giuseppe De Simone told Corriere della Sera. Contracts and litigation papers once needing five or six hours take half an hour, with senior review still essential.
BonelliErede — Stefano Simontacchi, BonelliErede tax partner, told Corriere della Sera he completed in five days with Claude, alongside an institutional client, work normally taking a month. He builds AI agents on several cloud servers.
Serbian Railways Infrastructure — Serbia opened a EUR 127 million Unified Dispatch Center at Belgrade's Makiš yard, applying AI rail dispatching to 540 km of operational track, staffed by 23. Russian Railways subsidiary Institut NIAS co-delivered the hub, whose algorithms supplant manual protocols. Centralised, automated train dispatching is planned for all 3,357 km nationwide.
MASGZ Brandenburg — Brandenburg activated an AI in immigration services tool within 'Aufenthalt Digital' from 26 June 2026, expanding a six-month Dahme-Spreewald pilot statewide. The system flags missing or contradictory paperwork before submission, spanning permits for employment, training, family reunification and settlement. Some 350 German offices already run the portal, now enhanced with automated document verification for visa applications.
Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic — A single point of contact for Czech AI regulation would sit with the Czech Telecommunications Office, tasked with leading market checks under a first-of-its-kind national statute now written by the Ministry of Industry and Trade to fold the EU AI Act into the law of the Czech Republic. Two other bodies, the Czech National Bank and the Office for Personal Data Protection, would supervise their own fields, and a sandbox for trialling artificial intelligence tools would open under the Czech Agency for Standardisation. Other ministries gave feedback in autumn 2025, and the bill went to cabinet on 26 June 2026; come September 2026 no minister had reviewed it yet, leaving this proposed AI Act Czechia measure stalled before reaching parliament.
Tallinn Administrative Court — Ten people challenging a felling permit were fined by Tallinn Administrative Court after filing a submission whose citations named Estonian scholars who do not exist and studies nobody could trace — the first penalty of its kind under emerging Estonia AI regulation. One paid 150 euros and nine paid 50 each, well inside the 3200 euro ceiling; Tallinn Circuit Court upheld the ruling and it became enforceable once the Supreme Court refused the appeal. Judges accept that parties may lawfully use such tools, yet hold them answerable for whatever they assert. Kaupo Kruusvee, who chairs the administrative court, would rather litigants wrote in plain words of their own, and while earlier warnings and reprimands over careless AI use in court are on record, no previous fine is known.
Shoosmiths — Shoosmiths is deploying Project Apollo firmwide, an AI contract review tool built over a year with Microsoft on Azure, which edits drafts against the dealmakers' standards and explains each amendment so juniors see the reasoning. Senior lawyers approve all output. David Jackson, chief executive, calls it the firm's own generative AI.
ČSOB — Some 74 percent of firms surveyed for ČSOB's Index of business expectations report AI adoption in Czech business, yet thorough use reaches only 17.8 percent, with 38 percent dabbling, 19 percent confining it to back-office paperwork and 15 percent calling the technology a danger. Sectoral spread is wide: consulting and creative services stand near 57 percent and professional and IT services at 52.5 percent, well above accommodation on 27 percent and agriculture, forestry and fishing on 11 percent. Asked about the coming six to twelve months, 70.5 percent of consulting and creative houses, 57.4 percent in HR services and roughly 43 percent in construction intend fresh artificial intelligence projects, across 400 firms and entrepreneurs polled.
Crisis Management Center of North Macedonia — North Macedonia's Crisis Management Center (CMC) has agreed with NATO to implement NICS-2, a multi-year AI crisis response project delivering an incident command system, AI-driven, for cross-border emergencies. Under NATO's Science for Peace and Security Programme, this AI-assisted emergency response effort targets stronger national crisis management capabilities via AI-enhanced coordination and real-time decision-making.
Metropolitan Police — Live facial recognition policing expands to London's West End and Soho by Christmas 2026, the Metropolitan Police says, fixing cameras to street furniture ahead of six further rollouts in 2027. A prior Croydon trial scanned 470,000 faces over six months, yielding 173 arrests and one false match, evidence now cited to justify wider facial recognition surveillance.
WKB Lawyers — WKB Lawyers, an independent law firm in Poland, is giving all 160-plus of its lawyers access to Harvey's AI platform, a firmwide push into AI in legal services covering 40-plus practice areas from M&A to IP and financial rules. The software takes on due diligence, litigation support and compliance work once done by hand, freeing staff for higher-value advisory tasks, part of wider legal AI adoption.
Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency) — Germany's Federal Employment Agency (BA) is rolling out AI customer service for public agencies nationwide, extending its Antwortvorschläge reply-suggestion tool to every SGB III Service Centre, with completion due by 30 September 2026. The system drafts responses to mailbox queries, but staff must check and approve each one before sending. This nationwide push follows a longer internal test phase, with automated drafting still requiring human sign-off throughout.
Broseta — Broseta has adopted Harvey as generative AI for legal work across its everyday practice, covering contract checks, regulatory analysis, precedent searches and drafting. Lawyers retain the legal judgement. Manuel Broseta, the firm's president, and managing partner Rosa Vidal frame the platform as a lever for efficiency and extra client value.
Office for IT and eGovernment of Serbia — Serbia's Office for Information Technology and Electronic Administration teamed up with Microsoft to deliver AI-assisted public administration training to 1,500 civil servants using Microsoft Copilot. Lessons ranged from quicker document searches, summaries and drafting to handling routine bureaucratic duties, with government use of Microsoft Copilot extending to advanced modules in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for select staff. The curriculum closed with building AI agents for workflow automation and instruction on responsible, data-protective AI practices.
Norwegian Government (Kunnskapsdepartementet) — The Norwegian government said on 19 June 2026 AI in primary school should generally be avoided, and told the Directorate for Education and Training to issue national guidance before the school year. Year 1–7 pupils should not use AI for schoolwork themselves; lower-secondary classes may trial it cautiously once teachers are competent. All are advisory.
AS Augstsprieguma tīkls (AST) — Latvia's power grid operator AS Augstsprieguma tīkls (AST) is trialling AI infrastructure inspection to shrink manual review time by 30 to 50 per cent. Partnering with SIA Datacom under EU funding, AST trains a prototype to spot damage across thousands of drone-shot images of transmission infrastructure. This aerial grid-defect detection tool remains at pilot stage.
FinTech Belgium, Sailpeak and Vlerick Business School — The third AI Barometer from FinTech Belgium, Sailpeak and Vlerick Business School sees generative AI in financial services reaching Belgian core processes beyond coding and customer service. 67% deploy it in claims processing and 46% in KYC/ALM, 64% pilot it in underwriting, and institutions seeking positive AI returns rose from 47% in 2025 to 75% in 2026.
Mironet — Mironet, a Czech retailer, now leans on five home-grown AI agents in e-commerce — DÉDAL, ATLAS, IRIS, FÉNIX and ARGOS — covering code, analytics, mail, freight and security. Work once eating a whole shift of hand-built exports and spreadsheet formulas now wraps up daily. Mironet reckons the agentic automation platform worth up to 19 million crowns yearly, equal to 20 percent of wage costs and to 24 posts, contractors included.
Direction générale de l'administration et de la fonction publique (DGAFP) — Talks on AI in the civil service began in France as the DGAFP met unions and employers across all three public-sector branches to negotiate a framework agreement on rolling out and using artificial intelligence in government work. The draft, tied to the 'Notre IA' plan, groups its provisions into six strands: guiding principles, ethics and transparency duties, oversight structures, dialogue with staff representatives, workforce training, and handling organisational change from AI deployment in public administration. Negotiators are due back at the table on 10 July 2026.
Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of Serbia — Serbia AI regulation is taking shape: a working group under the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation aims to finish the nation's inaugural artificial intelligence statute by December 2026. Systems face sorting into four bands—banned outright, high-risk, needing disclosure, or minimal concern—while officials plan a new AI Agency alongside a registry tracking high-risk tools. The European Union's AI Act supplies the template, tying into Serbia's own AI Development Strategy stretching to 2030.
Legance — Legance has given every professional, in each practice group and at all seniorities, access to Legora, an agentic AI platform for lawyers, after a three-month implementation. Legora specialists, the firm's entire IT department and delegates from every area delivered it with help from Irnerius. Monica Colombera, a senior partner, calls the early results from broad use very promising.
Eesti.ai council, Government Office of Estonia — Estonia's Eesti.ai council, set up at Prime Minister Kristen Michal's initiative, agreed at its second meeting to create a digital identity for AI agents, which it calls an AI personal identification code. Michal backed letting agents act for a person, company or institution within defined, verifiable and auditable rights, such as only viewing data, preparing a document or paying up to a set ceiling, never all of a user's rights. Moving quickly, he said, would make Estonia the first country to grant AI agents an official digital identity.
Dorset Council — Faculty, an AI firm working with the UK government, built the agents now being piloted by Dorset Council to assist planning officers on minor applications, reviewing documents and issuing recommendations. This AI planning agents trial aims to halve average processing times, cutting the wait from eight weeks to four. Two other councils are running the same test, with AI in planning application processing meant to ease backlogs.
Swiss Medical Network — Swiss Medical Network, a leading private hospital group in Switzerland, is extending AI clinical documentation to every hospital, saving each doctor up to two hours a day. The Heidi platform transcribes consultations live and prepares drafts. Each AI-drafted clinical note is checked and signed off by a doctor before filing.
French government (Notre IA plan) — The French government will bring generative AI for public advisers to its 8,000 France services staff by autumn 2026 with a tool built on Aria, a chatbot from the Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Dila). It is part of the Notre IA plan unveiled at Bercy, which also foresees a general conversational tool for some one million state employees, phase one costing an extra €750,000 in Mistral licences and computing power.
Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernisation (BMDS) — Germany's Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernisation has open-sourced SPARK Workflow, an AI planning approvals system any government level can now adopt. Agents flag gaps or contradictions in submissions and draft rulings pending human approval. Trials run at the Federal Highway Authority, Hamburg's hydrogen core grid permitting, and North Rhine-Westphalia's emissions clearances, pointing toward wider AI-assisted permitting.
Naczelna Rada Adwokacka (Polish Bar Council) — The Naczelna Rada Adwokacka has amended the Code of Ethics for Advocates so AI may serve advocates purely as an aid, a Poland AI regulation adopted in Rzeszów. Lawyers stay answerable for judging and checking every output, may not compromise professional secrecy, and must take special care sharing confidential material. Clients get no routine notice beyond what statute demands but may ask which tools were used, under these bar ethics rules on AI.
Varsinais-Suomi and Satakunta wellbeing services counties — The Varsinais-Suomi and Satakunta wellbeing services counties launched joint work in June 2026 to take AI record-keeping in social care from pilots to full social welfare services. Over 600 Varsinais-Suomi professionals created 30,000-plus AI-assisted records in the pilot, about 300 in Satakunta produced over 10,000 in 2026, and a tenfold rise in use is targeted by end-2027.
Banco BPI — Portugal's Banco BPI has put the Harvey legal AI platform across its whole legal department after a pilot the bank says raised productivity in the team's core work. BPI says the platform frees its lawyers' time from procedural tasks, and head of legal Luís Graça Moura says practical gains are already showing.
Dutch central government (Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations) — The Dutch government is extending vlam-chat, a home-built AI chatbot for civil servants, to several units of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, with pilots elsewhere in central government. The ministries of Health, Finance, General Affairs, Education, and Infrastructure and Water Management, plus the High Councils of State, already have it. 82% of surveyed users use it at least weekly and 77% save noticeable time; production rollout follows in the second half of 2026.
ESBanque (École supérieure de la banque) — French banking school ESBanque has introduced Mon Coach IA, AI role-play training built with Sopra Steria and Gwenlake, where future bank and wealth-management advisers rehearse client meetings with AI-driven virtual clients. Trialled with 90 learners since June, it was set for over 1,000 from September 2026.
North Rhine-Westphalia tax administration (Finanzverwaltung NRW) — North Rhine-Westphalia's tax administration is live-testing FinAssist.NRW, an in-house AI assistant hosted in its own data centre. Tax offices in Gütersloh, Oberhausen-Nord and Solingen have trialled the chatbot live since June 2026, before the state finance ministry's own trial; it condenses and analyses internal papers, writes drafts, organises email chains and pulls out task lists.
GTS Alive — GTS Alive, which issues ISIC cards, polled 530 sixth-formers in the Czech Republic in June 2026 and recorded 90 percent leaning on student AI use for coursework, against guidance at a fifth of schools. Roughly 80 percent of the year's leavers revised that way. Two thirds turn to ChatGPT and Google Gemini academically and almost half off duty; pupil AI usage goes largely unverified, with 44 percent verifying replies sometimes and 6 percent skipping that entirely.
Elizabeth College — Elizabeth College has run a month-long pilot of Inkling, an AI tutor built by UK independent school Clifton College, which recruited the Guernsey side to test and feed back. Instead of supplying solutions outright, this AI-guided study aid applies the Socratic method — probing, never telling — to build critical thinking, and logs where each pupil stands against exam objectives so help arrives tailored. Fran de Garis, English teacher and AI lead, put Year 10 through it for homework beyond class time, with cover lessons a further possibility. De Garis stops short of committing: adoption stays undecided, the hoped-for role an extra option rather than a crutch, and results go to Inkling's developers in September.
Nagyoroszi Council — Nagyoroszi's council in Hungary has opened a freely reachable AI customer service, supplied by Munipolis, still learning and fed solely by the village's own web pages. Preset bubbles cover the commonest queries, typed messages work too, and adjacent topics appear unprompted. The municipal chatbot copes with several languages, spots the edge of what it knows and hands anything past that to whichever council officer owns the case; officials report lighter paperwork already.
Conister Bank (Manx Financial Group) — Conister Bank, part of Manx Financial Group, now applies AI in banking redress work, automating its Discretionary Commission Arrangements restitution process for far less than a third-party processor would charge. The tooling sorts through bulk complaint correspondence, pulls out key data points and drafts customer replies, though humans still sign off every final decision. This automated redress handling forms part of the wider AI strategy the Isle of Man-based group set out.
National Health Insurance Company (CNAM) — Moldova's National Health Insurance Company (CNAM) has rolled out Ana, an AI healthcare assistant built into its web portal, to field citizen questions on mandatory health insurance. This AI-driven virtual assistant handles three tasks: coverage checks, payment steps, and eligible medical services. CNAM treats it as a trial run, watching results before wider use.
BMDS — Complex GDPR data requests now clear in hours instead of weeks, a 90% speed gain logged by Germany's Federal Ministry for Digitalisation and State Modernisation across Agentic AI Hub trials in 19 municipalities. Care benefit applications moved 45% faster and staff spent 78% less time chasing up meeting minutes, as the scheme piloted AI agents in local government spanning 20 administrative workflows. 70% of those pilot solutions, an early marker of public sector AI adoption, were already live in daily operation before the cut-off.
National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) and Office of the Government — NÚKIB (National Cyber and Information Security Agency), with an inter-ministerial group under the Office of the Government, gives officials a Desatero — Ten Commandments — for using AI responsibly. Security, data protection, transparency and trust anchor its Guide for Ethical and Responsible Use of AI in Public Administration. Goal: safe, purposeful AI in government across Czechia's public sector.
Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine — A new panel convened by Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation held its inaugural session on 15 June 2026, tasked with producing AI regulation Ukraine can align to the EU AI Act by year's end 2026, ending the current reliance on voluntary self-regulation. Officials, business figures and civil society representatives jointly guide the resulting Ukrainian AI legislation.
Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) — Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS), Serbia's state utility, runs an AI inflow prediction hydropower system for the Drina-Lim basin, roughly 10% of national electricity. Built with the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Mihajlo Pupin Institute, it uses weather and river data for machine learning based inflow forecasting, guiding maintenance and generation planning.
Conseil d'État (French administrative courts) — AI currently generates more work for the administrative judiciary than any productivity it unlocks, according to Cécile Nissen of the Conseil d'État, because parties now file bulkier AI-drafted pleadings, sometimes with hallucinations, that judges must still rebut. Céline Arquié of the Toulouse tribunal calls the technology marginal to day-to-day judging. Just three posts staff the Conseil d'État's AI unit, whose pilots, from missing-document alerts to anonymisation, never touch rulings.
Vilniaus viešasis transportas — Vilniaus viešasis transportas, public transport operator for Lithuania's capital, now uses AI customer service for its 50 to 100 daily passenger enquiries. Built with IT firm Nortus on a Microsoft platform in four weeks, it uses Gemini to read free-text letters, extract key facts, log them in the central database and draft replies.
CHU de Poitiers — The CHU de Poitiers has made MedGPT official across all five sites, extending the French medical AI assistant to health professionals throughout the surrounding area. Billed by the hospital as a secure French solution, it answers clinical questions from reference sources.
Department of Health and Social Care — England's NHS trusts will all gain AI chest X-ray tools by 2029 under a £20 million UK government package. Half already use this lung cancer diagnosis software, which has helped over 4 million patients get faster results or all-clear news, cutting scan turnaround from eight days to four.
Polish Civil Service (Służba Cywilna) — On 10 June 2026, Poland's Civil Service launched a third free e-learning course on AI for government administration, hosted on the Civil Service e-learning system. Content spans core generative AI concepts, secure usage habits, crafting effective prompts and applying AI responsibly, forming part of Poland's wider push on AI in public administration for its staff. Two prior modules on the same platform came before it.
Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation — Croatia's Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation has switched on an AI virtual assistant for public services at the heart of the state portal gov.hr, delivered inside the National Recovery and Resilience Plan scheme building one contact hub for every e-public service. Residents phrase a query the way they would put it to a clerk across a counter — renewing a passport, enrolling a child, registering a move — and the government service chatbot hands back an ordered reply, pointing at the matching e-service. Availability is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no personal data demanded or retained.
Arcom (Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique) — France's media regulator Arcom now binds all 2027 presidential campaign material to strict AI disclosure duties under recommendation n°2026-05, covering AI-generated content in elections, published 7 June 2026. Labels reading "Contenu généré par IA" become compulsory wherever AI substantially shapes campaign material, while faking a declared candidate's likeness without their signed approval becomes illegal from 1 November 2026. Major platforms face a 1 October 2026 deadline to launch tools letting users flag suspect material, feeding a registry that refreshes weekly once the official campaign period begins, giving the public a running record of AI electoral content flagged during the race.
BelTA — BelTA has built AI photo restoration and video work into daily production, director general Andrei Mokhor told the 34th Council of Heads of CIS State News Agencies in St Petersburg. The Belarusian Telegraph Agency animates archival and historical photographs, produces colourised archive footage, generates billboards, posters and infographics, and upscales old frames for large-format exhibitions. Writing or editing copy stays off limits — Mokhor calls that a taboo.
Ålands lagting — Ålands lagting has passed the Landskapslag om tillsyn över artificiell intelligens (AI Oversight Law), transposing the EU AI Act into legislation for the autonomous region. Following two readings, the statute names Datainspektionen as the supervisory authority responsible for enforcement, giving the body powers over AI system oversight and compliance across Åland's jurisdiction. The framework applies AI system compliance regulation modelled on the AI Act's structure, adapted to the islands' devolved legal system.
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Albania) — Albania's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development unveiled YLLI, an AI assistant for farmers, at a Tirana conference on digital agriculture through 2030. Housed in the Farmer's Portal, this virtual farming assistant answers in Albanian with guidance, market and collection-point prices and phone-based help; farmer Manjola Hafizi tried it live on stage, asking about the National Support Scheme 2026. Minister Andis Salla pointed to growing reliance on technology and real-time data across the sector.
Ministry of Interior of Serbia — Serbia's Ministry of Interior runs NEC's NeoFace Watch and NtechLab's FindFace, ministry sources told BIRN, extending facial recognition surveillance already built on thousands of Huawei cameras with biometric capability. Russia and Iran use the same software. Rights groups warn this biometric identification system lacks legal grounding, since biometric provisions were left out of the draft Law on Police.
Chiomenti — Chiomenti professionals now query the firm's know-how instantly through AsKey, an in-house AI knowledge platform launched after a two-year build. Created under Reshaping the Future, AsKey accelerates research and drafting. Managing partners Gregorio Consoli and Filippo Modulo unveiled it.
National Agency for the Information Society (AKSHI) — Albania's National Agency for the Information Society has put a first draft of Albania AI regulation to public consultation, running 29 May to 26 June 2026. The proposed draft law on artificial intelligence runs to nine chapters, 106 articles and 13 annexes, closely following EU Regulation 2024/1689 by grading systems on risk, banning manipulative or social-scoring uses outright, and layering heavy technical and governance duties onto anything rated high-risk. AKSHI would coordinate enforcement, and the text bars any legally damaging decision resting solely on real-time biometric identification.
National Agency for Information Society (AKSHI) — The government opened public consultation on its draft Law on Artificial Intelligence, which bases Albania AI regulation largely on the EU AI Act. The draft sorts AI systems by risk, bans manipulative practices and social scoring, mandates human oversight of high-risk systems, makes AKSHI coordinating authority and adds a regulatory sandbox. The AI rules allow real-time biometric identification in public spaces only with a court order for serious crimes.
FPS Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft — FPS, a German commercial law firm, now runs Harvey, an AI platform built for legal work, speeding review of complex cases and bulky document sets. Staff pair this legal AI document review with AI-driven legal document analysis, and FPS says human lawyers still deliver every final legal call, not the software.
Zivilgericht and Appellationsgericht Basel-Stadt — AI-drafted court filings from people without lawyers are inflating dossiers at Basel's civil court, where Patrick Müller says single scrappy pages have given way to polished multi-page claims. Stephan Wullschleger of the Basel appeal court notes that such submissions read well yet often press irrelevant grievances, including futile delay objections the software recommends. Nobody can measure the burden, and losing litigants still pay.
Ministry of Public Administration of Montenegro — Montenegro AI policy advanced on 27 May 2026 when a Working Group under the Ministry of Public Administration, aided by UNDP, held its fifth meeting to pore over the strategy's initial blueprint for 2026-2030. Participants debated ambitions at both strategic and operational levels, plus yardsticks for gauging success. Attention centred on building digital infrastructure, sharpening skills, and shaping regulatory frameworks — pillars of the emerging national AI framework.
Pohjois-Pohjanmaan hyvinvointialue (Pohde) — Pohde, the North Ostrobothnia wellbeing services county, extended its AI phone assistant for cancelling or moving adult dental appointments to eight more municipalities on 26 May 2026, after Ii, Pudasjärvi, Vaala, Utajärvi and Muhos. It calls itself the first Finnish wellbeing region with an AI-based phone service in dental care, freeing professionals for other work, within the Sitra-funded UusiAika project.
Liechtensteinische Landesverwaltung (LLV) — LLV, Liechtenstein's State Administration, broadened its AI chatbot government website tool LiBot to cover all of www.llv.li, moving beyond its earlier commercial-register-only scope. The assistant, an AI-driven virtual assistant for public sector services, resolves common queries at any hour and steers visitors toward the right information, built on an AI model tuned for clear, accurate replies. Officials frame it as part of a wider digitalisation strategy.
Government of Spain, Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service — The Council of Ministers forwarded the draft Organic Law for the Good Use and Governance of Artificial Intelligence to the Congress of Deputies, aligning Spain AI regulation with the EU AI Regulation. Penalties climb to 35 million euros or 7% of global turnover; AESIA, AEPD and CGPJ oversee compliance; a national AI sandbox, a public-body AI catalogue and a public-sector AI delegate follow. By September 2026 this AI legislation remained before parliament, unpassed.
Pinsent Masons — Pinsent Masons was criticised by Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Mullen after AI hallucinations misquoting an insolvency rule appeared in two letters a junior solicitor drafted, unchecked by partner Steven Cottee or the senior associate. Those AI conversations filled 59 pages. The firm apologised and self-reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
Bakkafrost — GroAqua has delivered Bakkafrost's newest feed barge, Torvgjógv, now working the Fuglafjørður farm in the Faroe Islands. The 700-tonne vessel runs AI feed distribution aquaculture across 18 lines feeding 18 pens, the system now live and wringing more value from every load than older gear managed. GroAqua's Klaksvík feed centre tracks this AI-optimised salmon feeding remotely, expecting sharper efficiency, better oversight and a stronger environmental record for the sector.
Planzer Paket — Mathilde, a Level 4 autonomous delivery vehicle from logistics firm Planzer Paket and startup LOXO, drives Bern's public roads driverless. Electric-powered, it links Planzer's rail hub with city transfer points. An attendant still sits in the passenger seat under a Federal Roads Office permit, with fully driverless delivery the eventual goal.
Government of the Republic of Slovenia — A newly formed AI ethics council, the National Council for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, now has its full roster of members named by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, acting under authority granted by the ZIUDHPUI law. This independent panel of specialists will judge how artificial intelligence affects society, democracy and ethics, offering guidance to shape responsible public-sector adoption. Beyond issuing formal advice, the body carries a mandate to weigh the legal, environmental and social consequences of AI tools in use, functioning effectively as an ethical AI oversight body for the state.
Upravna akademija (Administrative Academy) of the Ministry of Public Administration — Over 40,000 civil servants in Slovenia completed AI training for civil servants under a scheme run by the Administrative Academy within the Ministry of Public Administration. More than 80 modules spanned generative tools for senior staff alongside routine departmental applications. The Republic of Slovenia and the European Union's NextGenerationEU recovery mechanism co-funded the effort, spreading AI literacy among public sector employees.
Bayerisches Staatsministerium der Justiz — Bavaria's Ministry of Justice built ALeKS (Anonymisierungs- und Leitsatzerstellungs-Kit) for AI anonymisation of court rulings, feeding 'Project 50k', a push to release 50,000 redacted Bavarian judgments over coming years. Munich Higher Regional Court piloted the system from 9 March 2026 before wider adoption followed. Central units still verify every machine-processed ruling by hand, keeping human review of automated judgment redaction in place.
Isle of Man Government — Isle of Man AI regulation lets businesses own AI training data as lawful assets after Data Asset Foundations legislation gained Royal Assent, the world's first statutory framework governing data assets. That permits pricing, licensing and safe exchange with collaborators. Follow-on rules and a world-first statutory Data Asset Register are being drafted; Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston argues such AI rules put the island ahead in the worldwide data economy.
Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation — Russian schools add an Artificial Intelligence profile to advanced-level computer science lessons from 1 September 2026, per Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov.

Digital Learning Hub and Luxembourg Ministry of State — Luxembourg's Elements of AI literacy training has reached over 7,600 residents since 2021, Minister Elisabeth Margue said, closing its 5th edition. That's roughly 1.1% of working-age adults, beating the 1% target for 2030 ahead of schedule. The free, nationwide AI literacy programme keeps growing.
Univé Rechtshulp, with LegalMike — Univé Rechtshulp is phasing in AI legal research for its jurists, linking LegalMike's Golden Retriever to the insurer's own AI environment so answers trace back to up-to-date Dutch and European law. Training and pilots since 2024 preceded the organisation-wide step, which Univé Rechtshulp expects to leave staff more time for the 600,000-plus people it covers.
Rohlik Group — Rohlik Group has wired card payments straight into Maia, making AI grocery shopping one unbroken flow: pick items, check out, approve the charge on a saved card, never quitting the thread. Maia also takes spoken orders via Siri and Google Assistant, plus product hunts, recipes, lists and complaints. An MCP server lets ChatGPT and Claude plug in behind secured OAuth verification; the voice commerce assistant operates wherever Rohlik claims a Net Promoter Score beyond 90.
Heilbrigðisstofnun Suðurlands (HSU) — Heilbrigðisstofnun Suðurlands (HSU) has fitted Móberg nursing home with TETON AI fall detection sensors that monitor movement and sleep patterns, flagging hazards such as a resident sitting up in bed before a fall happens. Staff response times have fallen by up to 95%, per HSU. Cited research shows falls dropping 40% on average, with incidents down as much as 75% since the elderly care monitoring system began operating in Iceland.
Zurich Insurance — Zurich Insurance runs agentic AI underwriting in five countries, including Switzerland, after a 90-day rollout with Cytora. Its AI risk digitisation platform converts unstructured, multilingual submissions into structured risk data, cutting triage from 75 minutes to 15 and lifting straight-through processing to 95%. Zurich plans expansion to over 20 markets within 16 months.
Bar Standards Board (BSB) — The Bar Standards Board (BSB) has published AI guidance for barristers, mapping duties already in the BSB Handbook onto AI and other technology. Rising uptake and misuse, notably the Ayinde v London Borough of Haringey judgment, prompted the step. Free products such as ChatGPT are deemed generally unfit for client matters, and agentic systems demand absolute caution.
Town of Otrokovice — Otrokovice, a Czech town, has switched on an AI assistant for council websites so residents can find things faster. Tucked behind a corner icon, the tool takes questions without sending anyone away from the page, combing municipal pages and other material for dependable, up-to-date replies on services, official business and what is happening locally. A spin-off of the Faculty of Mechatronics at the Technical University of Liberec supplies the municipal information chatbot, which the Constitutional Court also runs.
Holy See — Pope Leo XIV has instituted an Interdicasterial Commission on Artificial Intelligence, the forum for Holy See AI policy. Cardinal Michael Czerny, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, signed the rescript, released by the Holy See Press Office; papal assent came at a 3 May 2026 audience. Seven bodies take part: that one, those for the Doctrine of the Faith, Culture and Education and Communication, and the Pontifical Academy for Life, of Sciences and of Social Sciences. Whichever body coordinates — a renewable yearly turn, Czerny's first — must ease cooperation and exchange on artificial-intelligence work, Vatican AI governance rules for use inside the Holy See included.
Government of Malta — Malta became the site of OpenAI's debut national government tie-up, letting citizens and residents on its digital identity registry claim a full year of free ChatGPT Plus, the premium chatbot subscription.

The Polish marketplace, with over 80 million products from more than 150,000 sellers, announced both with its first-quarter 2026 results. It runs close to 100 AI projects and aims for AI to underpin about 40% of its technology portfolio by year-end.
Valstybinis patologijos centras (Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos) — Lithuania's State Pathology Centre, part of Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos, has adopted Ibex Breast HER2, AI digital pathology that helps pathologists score the HER2 biomarker in breast cancer. Santaros Klinikos calls it the first CE-IVDR certified algorithm of its kind in the Baltic states.
Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina — More than 70 percent of staff at the Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina reach for artificial intelligence tools regularly or occasionally, an internal poll found. AI adoption in public administration outpaces the rulebook: the regulator is still drafting one, and no statute covers such work. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Central Election Commission and the Public Procurement Agency, whose chatbot fields queries on its eNabavke portal, report the same, marking AI use across state bodies.
National Medical Research Centre for Traumatology and Orthopaedics (CITO) — Four operating theatres at CITO, Russia's National Medical Research Centre for Traumatology and Orthopaedics, now use a voice AI agent surgical safety checklists tool, letting surgeons respond verbally rather than filling in paperwork. Speech recognition and large language models drive the checklist automation during orthopaedic procedures. More than 1,300 operations have relied on this AI-assisted checklist tool since the project launched in June 2025.
Government of Malta — Malta's Government wants machines handling court sittings, parliamentary sessions and public submissions: a tendered AI speech-to-text system, priced near €147,750, targets 85% accuracy in year one while managing code-switching between Maltese and English. Staff will check and fix computer drafts via a smart editor — an automatic transcription tool for courts and parliament.
Government Digital Service — The Government Digital Service has released GOV.UK Chat inside the GOV.UK app, letting residents pose everyday questions and get replies drawn from verified public-sector sources.

Linklaters — Linklaters has set up Applied Intelligence, pairing lawyers with data scientists to engineer custom AI for matters whose data swamps standard products. The unit works beside 20+ AI lawyers and the firmwide Legora, Harvey and Copilot tools. Co-founder Tom Quoroll stresses teamwork and judgement in the AI review team.
Kontuur Leo Burnett — Every frame of "Must nimekiri", the campaign telling shoppers to check the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority's register of traders who breached consumer rights, was an AI advertising production — television spot and digital placements alike. Urmas Villmann, the advertising entrepreneur behind it, told "Reedene intervjuu" the approach improves quality and cuts cost at once, one agency designer now specialising in prompting. Work once meaning film shoots billed in tens of thousands happens at a desk, though generative ad creation is no shortcut: coaxing a usable result from a prompt eats days, like a photo session.
Government of North Macedonia — North Macedonia became the 46th signatory to the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, the first legally binding international treaty on this technology. Justice Minister Igor Filkov and Secretary General Alain Berset signed it in Skopje, marking North Macedonia AI regulation progress meant to keep artificial intelligence systems accountable to democratic norms and legal safeguards, part of a wider AI governance treaty push.
PedersoliGattai — PedersoliGattai has finished embedding Harvey, a generative AI platform built for legal practice, into how the firm operates. Getting there took roughly one million euros of investment, the firm's statement says.
Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka (AZOP) — AI data protection now has a formal reference point in Croatia: on 7 May 2026, the Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP) issued guidance covering anyone who builds, trains, tests, integrates or runs AI systems. Titled "Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence", it clarifies GDPR applicability to AI models, assigns controller and processor responsibility, and details lawful processing grounds, privacy-by-design duties, transparency requirements, DPIA thresholds and security measures, alongside model anonymity, LLM risk factors and privacy-enhancing technologies. Organisations gain one benchmark for data protection and AI compliance across the development lifecycle.
Sir Colin Birss — Sir Colin Birss, Lead Judge for Artificial Intelligence in England and Wales, runs AI checks on his own judgments to sharpen clarity and consistency. In that post Birss also signs the judiciary's AI position statement and heads the steering group screening each new judicial AI proposal.
Supesu Recruitment — Supesu Recruitment's Raport Rynku Prawniczego 2025/2026 puts lawyer AI adoption in Poland at about 88% of 507 firm and in-house practitioners, polled 8 January to 4 March 2026. ChatGPT led (about 63%), then Copilot (56%) and DeepL (51%). Legal research (82%) and document analysis (70%) top the hoped-for gains from this uptake of AI.
Comunidad de Madrid — Spain's Comunidad de Madrid has installed AI cancer diagnosis tools in several public hospitals to spot suspected prostate and breast cancer faster and more accurately, and to follow detected cases. For prostate cancer they help radiologists read MRI and review a patient's whole imaging history together; for breast cancer, systems reading 2D mammograms and 3D tomosynthesis flag suspicious lesions and score how likely malignancy is. Clinicians will test them on diagnosed cases in coming months, with phased installation from summer.
Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO/EFK) — audit of the Federal Supreme Court — No efficiency gains from court AI can yet be shown at the Federal Supreme Court, the Swiss Federal Audit Office concludes after reviewing its anonymisation checks, running since 2021, and ChatTF, an in-house chatbot launched in 2025. The SFAO credits the court with early attention to trustworthy use and issues four recommendations, among them case-by-case appraisal and ongoing measurement of results.
Loyens & Loeff — Loyens & Loeff staff sent over one million prompts between September 1, 2025, and February 27, 2026, with 94% active, after a two-month Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout to 1,600 employees that followed a year of trials, a Microsoft case study says. Managing partner Harmen Holtrop calls responsible law firm Copilot use decisive.
Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization — The Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization and the Ministry of Education and Research formed the Sub-Council for Artificial Intelligence and Applied Research (SCIA), an advisory body for Moldova AI policy. Joining academia, public authorities and the private sector, SCIA steers EU AI Act transposition into domestic law and names an authority to implement national AI governance.
Slaughter and May — Slaughter and May is taking Harvey's full platform firmwide, applying legal AI in every practice area to document analysis, regulatory research, due diligence and multi-jurisdictional M&A, with Harvey's Transformation Office assisting. Managing partner David Johnson cited client service and called staff the human layer overseeing the AI tools.
UK Parliament — The Crime and Policing Act 2026, now law after Royal Assent, lets the Secretary of State rewrite the Online Safety Act 2023 to close AI regulation gaps around illegal AI-generated content and services enabling priority offences. Producing fake nude or sexualised images with AI tools becomes its own crime under this AI image generation law.
Ministry of Public Administration of Montenegro — Montenegro's Ministry of Public Administration has rolled out an AI chatbot for public services, live on the Government and eUprava portals, sparing citizens paperwork to find information. Minister Maraš Dukaj called round-the-clock, 24/7 access the key benefit of this AI-powered government assistant. Still in early pilot stage, it will gain new capabilities as feedback arrives.
Government Office of the Czech Republic — Nine ministries sit among 50 public bodies across Czechia now signed onto the AI National Skilling Plan's 'AI na úřad' scheme, a collaboration led by the Government Office of the Czech Republic with Microsoft and Digiskills to build AI skills training for civil servants. First-year totals put ready-made learning environments at 24,000 workers, while 577 staff inside the Government Office itself wrapped up 45,153 online courses between them. The initiative pairs safe handling of Copilot Chat and comparable workplace software with wider AI literacy for government employees.
Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization — Public feedback is being gathered in Moldova on a draft National Programme on Artificial Intelligence and Data Management, covering the years 2026 to 2030 and led by the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization. The Moldova AI policy seeks to turn the country from a mere buyer of foreign technology into a builder of homegrown AI products, bringing data oversight rules closer to EU standards along the way. This broader national AI strategy signals an effort to grow domestic tech capacity rather than depend on imports.
Comunidad de Madrid — SOL, a new AI public services chatbot from Madrid's Consejería de Digitalización, now serves 7 million residents around the clock. Built on Microsoft Foundry with Azure OpenAI Service, it answers voice and text queries in Spanish, English and Romanian, using over 70,000 official URLs from the regional government and transport authority. Atos, Bravent and T-Systems helped build the digital assistant.
Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna ČR — Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna ČR has adopted rules deciding which novel technologies, among them AI in diagnostics, win a place in the reimbursement system, with trials opening 1 July 2026. VZP names three opening fields: chronic disease management, diagnostics, and backing prevention. A yet-to-be-named board of specialists will judge every application on safety, gain and value for money — machine learning reimbursement never having had an orderly Czech pathway, leaving products to creep in from below.
Estonian translation market — Rates for Estonia's two thousand translation livelihoods slid from 18 euros in 2019 to under eight in tenders, the sharpest sign of AI in the translation profession. Demand shrank as machines took the craft, though the European Commission rendered 100,000-plus pages into the language last year with 55 staff. Triin van Doorslaer of Tallinn University, Nele Nikopensius at Luisa Keelelahendused and Elis Paemurd at the Commission's office report the squeeze on machine translation work.
Consejo General del Poder Judicial (CGPJ) — Comisión Disciplinaria — Spain's CGPJ has imposed a 1,000-euro penalty on a provincial judge who wrote a draft ruling with ChatGPT, the country's first disciplinary action over judicial AI misuse. Colleagues spotted leftover prompts in the document. The Consejo General del Poder Judicial classed it a grave offence under article 418.8 of the LOPJ, declining the harsher charge since the software supported rather than replaced his adjudication.
Presidents of the Higher Regional Courts and the Federal Court of Justice — Presidents of Germany's Higher Regional Courts, the Kammergericht, the Bavarian Supreme Regional Court and the Federal Court of Justice have issued the Grundlagenpapier 2026, a court AI framework from a 55-member working group spanning every higher-court district. Large language models should start on narrow, testable tasks that prepare a human judge's ruling without shaping it, like extracting case-file metadata. Bias audits should be regular, and unverifiable systems kept out of courts where possible.
Punktum.fo — Heini Festirstein and Eyðstein Johannesen have launched Punktum.fo, a Faroe Islands news site built on AI news writing. Punktum.fo pulls stories from vetted sources into short, plain-language Faroese summaries, each with an audio option. Every source stays visible on the page. The pair made it partly to push Faroese-language AI forward, calling that transparency non-negotiable for AI-generated news.
Freshfields — Freshfields has rolled Claude, Anthropic's AI models, out to 5,700 employees across 33 offices and is designing legal AI workflows with Anthropic for research, contract review, drafting, due diligence and multi-step agentic work. By the firm's own count, Claude usage climbed roughly 500 percent in the first six weeks.
EQT — EQT has AI systems covering 60 percent of non-disclosure agreement work, an in-house legal AI drive named 40X Return. Chief legal officer Josefin Nowén Wirkkala, heading over 40 lawyers across Europe, the US and Asia since 2025, deploys Harvey with other tools and obliges outside counsel to adopt Harvey on joint matters. That AI programme for corporate lawyers won Wirkkala the Årets Bolagsjurist 2026 award on 22 April.
Ministry of Interior and Administration of Poland — Poland's Ministry of Interior and Administration has created a Team for the Application of Artificial Intelligence Systems (Zespół AI), spanning Police, State Fire Service, Border Guard, State Protection Service and Office for Foreigners. Its brief for AI in national security covers biometric identification, emergency-call categorisation, critical infrastructure prediction and large language model applications, plus AI for border control and migration management. A full strategy is due by 2035.
Government of Ukraine — Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation is trialling AI policy impact analysis, software that predicts how draft acts will shape outcomes for citizens, businesses and other groups, labelling each positive, neutral or negative. Acting minister Oleksandr Bornyakov described it as an early-stage experiment, aimed at handing officials quicker, evidence-grounded judgement than manual review offers. This AI-driven policy assessment lacks a set launch date beyond the current pilot.
Dutch government — Ten sitting watchdogs, not one new body, will handle Netherlands AI Act implementing legislation under the Uitvoeringswet verordening artificiële intelligentie, open for consultation. These include the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI), which also jointly steer a cross-sector AI regulatory sandbox proposed in the same bill.
Plzeňský Prazdroj Slovensko — Slovakia's last commercial hop yard, in Nemšová, is testing AI irrigation management for hop farming under Plzeňský Prazdroj Slovensko's PRE CHMEĽ project. Sensor stations record soil moisture, temperature, humidity and rainfall, feeding an app whose algorithm tells farmers when and how much to water. A prior Czech run of this smart irrigation approach produced a 40% output jump where staff followed its schedule.
UK Parliament — New rules under the Data Protection Act 2018 require the Information Commissioner to produce a statutory Code of Practice on AI regulation compliance, addressing how organisations handle personal data while building and deploying Artificial Intelligence and automated decision-making tools, once regulations took effect on 12 May 2026. Special attention must go to safeguarding children's personal data within these automated systems. The outcome: formal UK data protection guidance on AI use.
Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization — Moldova's Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization and the e-Government Agency have drafted a bill legalising AI in public services from 1 January 2027, provided humans oversee outcomes. Fully automated rulings stay barred for sensitive cases like suspending welfare payments or settling child custody, though citizens gain appeal rights. This tightens safeguards on AI in government administration.
Primăria Sectorului 3, Bucharest — Romania's Primăria Sectorului 3, Bucharest's Sector 3 city hall, now answers residents' calls with an AI phone assistant handling routine administrative queries instead of a human operator. Reported on 21 April 2026 after weeks of use, the intelligent virtual assistant was still in calibration; the city hall admits errors can occur meanwhile.
Czech Ministry of Health — A Czech Ministry of Health analysis of 105 healthcare facilities across all regions puts AI adoption in Czech healthcare at 67.6% using or testing it, led by radiology at about 82.9%, then cardiology. The Czech-built Carebot chest X-ray tool, which highlights small lesions for less experienced doctors, runs at hospitals including Nový Jičín, Šumperk, Tábor, St Anne's in Brno, FN Bulovka and Slaný.
Elva Haigla — Elva Haigla became the first hospital anywhere to run DocAid, signing for the platform at the end of April 2026 and giving clinicians an AI medical scribe for the five to ten minutes a consultation otherwise loses to keying complaints and history into the patient file. A microphone captures the exchange, the software strips out chatter and returns complaints, history and the objective finding on screen within seconds, in Estonian, Russian or English; processing happens on the supplier's server, which never sees the name-and-identity-code file, so the reviewed and corrected wording is carried across by hand. Take-up is voluntary yet nearly every doctor asked for it, and nurses and physiotherapists have the same access — clinical documentation AI having previously run only in limited use at other medical institutions.
Heves County Markhot Ferenc Teaching Hospital — Heves County Markhot Ferenc Teaching Hospital in Eger, Hungary, has put a scanner to work that performs AI cytology analysis on patient samples. Sharper findings and markedly quicker throughput are what the pathology department expects of the device. Shorter waits for a verdict mean earlier treatment, and the hospital frames machine-read cytology as movement towards digital pathology.
Uniqa Biztosító Zrt. — Uniqa Biztosító Zrt. has widened NiQA, its AI claims handling platform, from burst pipes to glass damage, and artificial intelligence now touches one household claim in three in Hungary. Thorniest category first, with every notification the eventual ambition. Automated claims assessment has paid out inside 24 hours since mid-April, and Uniqa's own forecast puts most retail claims automated by 2028.
RTL Hungary — RTL Hungary assembled the opening of its 'A legjobb ajánlat' second-season intro through AI video production, wrapping it inside half a day. Creative director Verebély Marcell put the choice down to a David Lynch-styled promo whose surrounding imagery resisted conventional filming; the team worked it up during April. Generative editing tools also salvaged murky, washed-out January footage.
CMB Monaco — Monaco's CMB tops Europe in generative AI wealth management, merging its systems onto Avaloq and BlackRock Aladdin Wealth via their June 2023 alliance. Advisers now receive 'Auto Commentary', translating dense portfolio figures into brief written notes, while back-office corporate actions run through AI-led automation.
Ministry of Education and Science — Latvia's Ministry of Education and Science launched a national-scale AI in education programme for general and vocational schooling, backed by a €200,000 Google.org grant. Plans include an AI leader school network of 15 general and 5 vocational schools, new teaching materials and a revised national curriculum. By 2030, students, teachers and school leaders should use educational AI skilfully and responsibly.
Freshfields — Freshfields counts 5,000 professionals on Gemini-based AI legal tools a year into the firm's Google Cloud collaboration, including Dynamic Due Diligence and case management, and 2,100 work regularly in NotebookLM Enterprise. Lukas Treichl, a partner and Freshfields Lab co-head, calls Gemini infrastructure the teams use daily.
Regierung des Fürstentums Liechtenstein (Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein) — Public-sector AI use in Liechtenstein now runs on four pillars: accountability, putting people first, openness, and innovation-driven efficiency. The recently approved KI-Strategie der Liechtensteinischen Landesverwaltung (AI Strategy of the Liechtenstein State Administration) marks an AI strategy for public administration, structured around four action fields: people, organisation, governance, and infrastructure, aimed at steering AI adoption in government agencies. Officials set no fixed end date, but a fundamental revision must happen no later than 2030.
Consejo General de la Abogacía Española (CGAE) — The Consejo General de la Abogacía Española has adopted a circular on AI-drafted filings, warning that unchecked machine mistakes can make advocates answerable. Software may assist only with people overseeing it, and practitioners should log each use and purpose. Breach crystallises once a flawed brief is lodged, though a prompt correction can avert it; this is the third ethics circular from the Abogacía.
Forvis Mazars (Germany) — Forvis Mazars in Germany says over 80% of licensed lawyers open Legora each day, with 90%-plus targeted by December 2026. Legal tech head Benedikt Raquet chose it after mapping use cases from 18 teams; M&A partner Ferdinand von Wrede champions daily legal AI usage.
Helse Sør-Øst RHF — Helse Sør-Øst, south-east Norway's health authority, decided on 9 April 2026 on a framework agreement with four AI note-taking suppliers and a binding order for 4,000 licences. Their speech-to-summary tools transcribe clinician–patient talk and draft a structured record summary. The authority will brief its board on wider rollout in autumn 2026, after early hospital use.
Financial Administration of the Czech Republic — The Ministry of Finance and the Financial Administration have opened a beta of an AI tax return filing tool, which the ministry calls a first for Czech public administration. Upload a payslip and the software picks out the figures required, dropping each into the right box, so nothing needs retyping and no row numbers need finding. Automated tax form completion covers only wage earners for now, including people paid by several employers and students earning on the side.
Municipality of Ratiboř — Ratiboř, a village in the Zlín Region, now fields enquiries through an AI mayor — a digital twin of Martin Žabčík, built over two years by Digiregion with AI Produkce. The likeness appears on a video screen in the council building's entrance hall, hooked into the village's own knowledge store, so callers learn of roadworks or planned spending. Because the digital council avatar talks day and night, residents wary of laptops and mobiles gain too.
Hof van beroep Antwerpen (Antwerp Court of Appeal) — The Hof van beroep Antwerpen (Antwerp Court of Appeal) granted a higher rechtsplegingsvergoeding (procedural indemnity) on 25 March 2026, finding one party's AI-drafted submissions had made the litigation disorderly, with ever-moving facts and legal bases. That AI misuse in litigation needlessly complicated the dispute. A recent Raad van State decision, cited beside it, holds that machine drafting cannot replace a lawyer's professional assessment.
Govern d'Andorra — Andorra's Business Digitalisation Programme, open from 8 April, exhausted a €500,000 pot on 178 firms and 368 digital solutions in 2026. AI adoption in Andorran business topped demand with 85 requests. Micro firms drew 69% of grants, small ones 27%, mid-sized 3% and large 1% of this AI uptake.
Verne — Verne, part of the Rimac Group, opened paid robotaxi rides in central Zagreb on 8 April 2026, billed by its partners as the earliest anywhere in Europe. The battery cars run Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous driving system, hailed through the Verne app, with Uber app booking promised under a three-way tie-up between Verne, Pony.ai and Uber; trained autonomous vehicle operators sit aboard while the deployment is young, and coverage is meant to widen beyond the initial central districts. Croatia's autonomous taxi fleet is, in chief executive Marko Pejković's words, proof that 'For the first time in Europe there is a real commercial robotaxi service.'
Government of the Slovak Republic — Slovakia has created the Rada vlády SR pre digitálnu transformáciu a umelú inteligenciu (Government Council for Digital Transformation and AI), on a MIRRI proposal. It replaces the former Government Council for Digitalisation of Public Administration and the Single Digital Market, steering Slovak AI policy and digital transformation through coordinating work spanning AI governance coordination government-wide.
KPMG Baltics — Caution rises with size: about half of firms turning over 20 million euros or more have stood up local artificial intelligence, double the norm, which KPMG lays to security and data-protection nerves — a distinctive shape to AI adoption in Estonian enterprises. Across respondents, 69 percent confine AI to a limited slice of staff, though one large firm in five is past 50 percent. Gains run high: 93 percent cite faster throughput, 84 percent better independent problem-solving. Norstat polled firms above five million euros of turnover whose people use such tools, for KPMG Baltics OÜ, whose senior IT consultant Martin Käärik weighed the enterprise AI uptake.
Burges Salmon — Burges Salmon chose Harvey for its Digital Enablement Programme after digital champions trialled legal AI platforms across practice groups, a Harvey case study notes. Large document sets now get reviewed faster. Managing partner Roger Bull expects profound change from generative AI.
Občina Sveta Trojica v Slovenskih goricah (Municipality of Sveta Trojica) — Klara, an AI digital secretary, has fielded calls for Sveta Trojica municipality since 2026. Unveiled by Mayor David Klobasa on Easter Sunday and live from that Friday, the tool grasps what callers want, replies, and auto-drafts written summaries as official records. Council goals cited included speed, order and openness, though human contact, officials insisted, stays central: artificial intelligence for municipal call handling will not replace it.
Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT) — Spain's AEAT tax authority deploys AI forensic analysis tax agency tools, rolling out 500 licences of Cellebrite Pathfinder to sift unstructured digital evidence—emails, images, videos—in open cases. The tool flags patterns and anomalies in seized data without replacing human judgement, an AI-powered digital evidence review layered atop inspectors' work. AEAT paid roughly €326,000 for the software in 2023; fiscal law experts warn its reach may extend beyond verifying income to mapping a taxpayer's social and family circle.
State of Thuringia (Ministry of Education) — Thuringia has made telli, an AI chatbot for teachers, available to state and independent schools through its school portal; pupils get no direct access. Education minister Christian Tischner called it a historic step.
Government of Estonia — Ministers approved and passed to parliament a bill setting a technology-neutral legal frame around automatic administrative procedure — Estonia AI regulation reaching routine, repeated and data-driven rulings. Central and local bodies would gain authority to decide through algorithms and machine learning, weighed against citizens' constitutional guarantees. Where an automated route proves opaque or ill-suited, the applicant may turn to a person, a safeguard inside the AI rules for administrative decisions.
ALTIUS — ALTIUS is extending Legora firm-wide to lawyers and support staff after a pilot and a review of more than 15 products. General manager Valerie Struye wanted learning to start now. Managing associate Bregt Raus helped bring national legal sources into the legal AI tool.
Philippe Shangti — Philippe Shangti unveiled Remember the Future: 2320 at Cinemes Illa Carlemany in Andorra la Vella, a 95-minute sci-fi title billed as the nation's earliest AI-generated film. Some 45,000 visual prompts fed the assembly across almost twelve months. Camera crews sat out this AI filmmaking.
Rada Ministrów (Council of Ministers of Poland) — AI regulation Poland now covers content labelling, a public registry for sanctioned or withdrawn systems, and legal grounds for AI regulatory sandboxes, following approval by Poland's Council of Ministers. Officials call it the EU's first such wide-ranging AI policy framework, with the draft AI Systems Act next heading to parliament.
National Bank of Ukraine — Ukraine's central bank, the National Bank of Ukraine, launched the Discussion Paper on the Ethical and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence by Participants of the Financial Services Market of Ukraine, opening debate on AI governance in financial services. Priorities named include shielding consumers, managing risk, keeping systems transparent and maintaining operational resilience across the sector. Officials frame this as an early move toward future sectoral guidance and a fuller White Paper, with no binding rules proposed yet under this responsible AI use in banking initiative.
Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and AI — Greece's Ministry of Digital Governance switched on pilot AI traffic cameras at eight high-risk points in Attica on 28 March 2026, certifying violations through the traffic police system and notifying drivers via gov.gr. The first 130 digital fines, mostly for red-light running and helmetless motorcyclists, went out within days; three ministries share the programme: digital governance, citizen protection and transport.
Gibraltar Parliament — Gibraltar Parliament has opened the whole legislative archive — every Hansard volume back to 1969 — through a new AI Hansard search built for public use. Beyond debate transcripts the service reaches Speakers' Rulings and Standing Orders, turning precedent hunting that once required manual research into a single query. This AI-assisted parliamentary research assistant condenses debates neutrally, yet cannot draft communications, speeches or anything original. The interface is already running on parliament.gi.
CMS — Harvey now reaches 7,200 CMS lawyers in 50+ countries, legal AI at scale after 95% uptake among the first 3,000+ users, a Harvey case study says. A twelve-month pilot with 300 lawyers followed a trial. Chief innovation and knowledge officer John Craske calls it table stakes.
Belarus Ministry of Health — Belarus's Ministry of Health will put AI chest X-ray reading into Minsk healthcare institutions from the middle of 2026, for digital chest radiography. Elena Krotkova, who directs the Republican Scientific and Practical Centre for Pulmonology and Phthisiology, says trained neural networks will stop specialists overlooking minimal pathological changes on an image. A radiologist still reads and signs off every picture, and the ministry intends AI radiology support to reach all regions later.
Canton Ticino — Ticino's public administration has rolled out an AI translation for government staff tool built on Switzerland's open-source Apertus language model, with roughly 100 civil servants trialling it in the initial rollout phase. Artificialy, the Ticino-based firm behind the system, designed it to convert text across German, French, Italian, Romanian and Ukrainian while keeping sensitive data within Swiss borders, a multilingual public-sector translation approach that could inform wider cantonal adoption.
Supreme Court of Montenegro and Judicial Council — Montenegro's Supreme Court and Judicial Council have rolled out an AI case law system built in-house by the Council's ICT department. It gives judges intelligent search across rulings plus an AI chatbot, unveiled at the Supreme Court on 8 April 2026, functioning as an AI-powered judicial search platform for the courts. A trial is under way at the Commercial Court, with a wider rollout planned across all Montenegrin courts.
Starling Bank — Starling Bank customers can now handle money tasks through Starling Assistant, billed as the UK's first agentic AI financial assistant for current account holders. Voice or natural language prompts let users set savings goals, arrange bill payments and get insights via this AI-powered banking assistant.
Government of Luxembourg — Luxembourg's Council of Government now requires human review of AI in central administration before content is published, holding the approving civil servant accountable rather than the system itself. Disclosure duties also apply, matching Article 50 of the EU AI Act, part of wider AI governance in public administration.
Zalando — Zalando is deploying up to 50 AI picking robots from Nomagic across its European fulfilment network, with first units already running in Lahr and Mönchengladbach, Germany, and Verona, Italy. Nicknamed 'Richard', they pick and scan individual items, shoeboxes included, and feed automated pocket sorters, and Zalando, announcing from Berlin, plans more for Rotterdam, Stockholm, Paris and its new Giessen site.
Austrian federal government (State Secretary for Digitalisation) — Austria's State Secretary for Digitalisation, Alexander Pröll, says the federal electronic file system (ELAK) will add AI in the second half of 2026, letting 13,000 staff query whole file collections and get structured AI document summaries instantly. It is among five Public AI initiative applications, alongside KI-SUN, a knowledge assistant already covering 6,000-plus pages of federal training material.
ČEZ — ČEZ has switched on AI predictive maintenance for the turbine at its Štěchovice II pumped-storage station, calling the installation among the newest instances of such technology entering power generation. Microphones and vibration and pressure probes sampling at tens of kHz sit in tightly specified spots on the machine, feeding roughly 2,000 GB of condition monitoring data every month; the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Brno University of Technology co-developed it. Róbert Heczko, in charge of the group's hydro fleet, said findings to date show some impending faults could be caught far ahead, letting outage planning improve — a reading the company has not had independently evaluated.
Government Commissioner for Artificial Intelligence — Palkovics László, Hungary's government commissioner for artificial intelligence, has unveiled AI Start 500, handing an AI management system for SMEs to 500 Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises. Plugging them into AI-based business processes is the purpose, and the commissioner cast the scheme as a small-business AI platform that dissolves firms' wariness.
Finanzamt Hilden — Employee tax cases in North Rhine-Westphalia now get AI tax risk management, with Finanzamt Hilden among the offices first to run it statewide in Germany. Risk-oriented selection flags audit-worthy returns, sorts low-risk filings, and clears some 2025 returns via AI-based tax audit selection with no human review. Eight offices piloted the approach from May 2025 before the wider launch.
Ministry of Digital Transformation — Slovenia's Ministry of Digital Transformation has adopted the Guidelines for the Development, Introduction and Use of Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration, a framework meant to steer government bodies toward deploying AI in public administration safely, ethically and effectively when serving citizens and businesses. Rather than binding rules, officials describe it as offering practical grounding for weaving automated systems into routine state functions — part of a broader push toward artificial intelligence in government services. Two attached annexes fill in specifics: guidance for staff on handling publicly available generative tools, plus an exit plan for cloud providers spelling out mandatory security benchmarks.
NLB (Nova Ljubljanska Banka) — NLB, Slovenia's largest banking group, built an enterprise Agentic AI platform with Adastra, launching its first AI use case within five months. NLB applies AI in banking to high-volume documents, credit and compliance fact-gathering, and employee decision-making. Centralised governance, role-based access and cost controls cover bank-wide AI agents.
Conseil national des barreaux (CNB) — The Conseil national des barreaux (CNB) has approved a manual on AI ethics for lawyers, restating duties of confidentiality, GDPR conformity, skill, caution, autonomy, candour with clients and balanced billing. This practical handbook walks through dangers, sound habits, specific advice and recent judgments.
Ministero della Giustizia (Italy) — Italy's Ministry of Justice has handed 1,000 extended Microsoft Copilot 365 licences to volunteer career magistrates since 1 January 2026, an AI trial for magistrates who test the assistant on court administration and casework. Volunteers receive training, while anyone who opted out loses access. Rulings stay wholly with each judge, the ministry's circular stresses.
Van Doorne — Structured AI workflows at Van Doorne deliver claims drafts 85–90% complete before lawyer edits, and manual administration on some steps is down 40–50%, the firm reports. For a client hit by 150 warranty and indemnity claims in six months, it rebuilt intake around AI claims handling. Managing partner Sjoerd Kamerbeek says relationships grew closer.
M&I/Partners — M&I/Partners' eighth AI Monitor, with replies from 52 Dutch hospitals, finds hospital AI use concentrated in care administration and billing (80%), then diagnostics (71%) and communication (65%). Most use is small-scale (53%) and 8% large-scale; 48% have a worked-out AI vision and strategy, and 76% an AI policy.
Igazságügyi Minisztérium — Igazságügyi Minisztérium has switched on an AI legal research tool at jog.gov.hu, built across the whole body of Hungarian statute and every municipal decree. Justice minister Tuzson Bence framed the pitch plainly: ask in ordinary words rather than legal terminology, and the AI-powered legal search replies briefly, clearly and soundly in law. Practitioners and the public alike are the intended users, within the ministry's deregulation drive.
McCann FitzGerald — McCann FitzGerald has extended Harvey AI to all its lawyers and professionals, claiming the first firm-wide use of generative AI for legal work by an Irish firm. Adoption began in early 2024. Managing partner Stephen Holst links the spending to client commitment, and the firm presents this Harvey deployment as an aid to expert judgement, not a substitute.
Национална агенция за приходите (NRA) — Bulgaria's National Revenue Agency is extending AI in tax administration to all its units after a successful pilot, the first Bulgarian administration to use the national BgGPT model at scale. Built with INSAIT, it covers head office and seven territorial directorates, targeting everyday use by 7,000-plus staff searching specific cases under shifting tax and social-security law.
Banca d'Italia — A Bank of Italy occasional paper by Tiziano Ropele and Alex Tagliabracci finds that AI adoption lifts firms' labour productivity and profitability. Using the bank's survey of industrial and private non-financial service firms with 50-plus staff, matched to balance sheets and worker data, it sees a shift to higher-skilled jobs with total employment holding; just over 10% used AI in 2024.
Microsoft AI Economy Institute — AI adoption in Bosnia and Herzegovina reached 22.1% of the working-age population in the first quarter of 2026, 2.6 points above 19.5% for the second half of 2025 and 18.2% for the half before. Worldwide the share moved from 16.3% to 17.8% over those months, on the Microsoft AI Economy Institute count. Its gauge tracks generative AI use among 15- to 64-year-olds, from pooled, anonymised Microsoft telemetry corrected for operating system, device-market share, internet reach and population.
Saint James Hospital Group — Saint James Hospital Group's AI-enabled endoscopy scopes in Malta lift detection rates roughly 24 per cent, backed by an AI second reader for breast imaging. Its shift toward AI-assisted reporting in hospital settings adds an ambient system for AI-assisted clinical documentation, capturing live consultations into a finished report by appointment's end.
Strix Plc — Isle of Man-based kettle controls maker Strix Plc expects AI-Barbara, a machine learning tool at its Ramsey factory, to add 4.3 million components and save approximately £50,000 every year. Bringing AI in manufacturing to tooling, the system reads real-time production data to forecast the best settings, turning set-up times of up to four hours into right-first-time runs. Local consultancy Insight Innovation wrote the TensorFlow neural network, a manufacturing AI funded through the government's Activate AI programme.
CEPOL and EU4Security Moldova — Over 20 Moldovan officials finished a five-day AI investigations training course in Chișinău, run by CEPOL under the EU4Security Moldova project. Lessons spanned basics, data management, software tools, spotting patterns, and whether AI-derived evidence holds up in court, plus ethics and rights safeguards. It builds Moldova's capacity for AI in criminal investigations.
Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer — Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer has chosen Legora as the general-purpose AI platform for its 2,700 lawyers in 26 offices. Deployment of the legal AI tool is happening in stages, and a Legora client portal for exchanging documents with clients is planned but not yet live.
PwC Channel Islands — PwC's Channel Islands CEO Survey 2026, 'Catalysing competitiveness in the age of AI', polled 45 chief executives across Guernsey and Jersey. Channel Islands AI adoption looks shallow: 58% doubt the firm can shift quickly enough to match technology, and merely 8% see revenue rise and costs fall together. On AI maturity, just 15% have sufficiently many of the seven foundations for success; 80% deem innovation indispensable, yet only 9% claim solid innovation footings.
Government of Romania — Four separate bodies, not a single regulator, will police EU AI Act Romania compliance under a Memorandum passed by the country's cabinet. ANCOM leads as the designated contact point and general market watchdog, ASF and BNR govern high-risk AI in financial services, ANSPDCP handles biometric technology and law-enforcement applications, and ADR vets conformity assessment bodies. Regulation 2024/1689 thus takes effect through this layered domestic structure rather than a unified agency.
Statistics Iceland — Iceland's national statistics office finds nearly half of firms already deploy some kind of automated software, according to a first-of-its-kind poll into business technology uptake. Statistics Iceland's inaugural enterprise survey, run in 2025 and released March 2026, puts AI in business adoption at 48%, with 50% using specified AI technologies. Just 25% apply it to defined tasks and only 14% have a formal strategy, though text-analysis leads use at 45%. Adoption among enterprises reaches 81% among firms with 250-plus staff.
Tribunale di Siracusa (Sez. II civile) — The Tribunale di Siracusa, in judgment no. 338, ruled that relying on fabricated precedents is gross negligence warranting aggravated-liability costs under article 96, an AI hallucination ruling triggered by quotes ascribed to four Cassazione decisions that contain no such text. Having excluded a faulty database or a copying slip, the judge found unverified machine output the most plausible explanation.
Government of the Republic of Slovenia — Five pillars anchor the national AI strategy of Slovenia, set by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia as NsUI 2030 on 5 March 2026 for the period to 2030: sovereign, trustworthy AI; broader uptake across business and government; domestic AI skills and ecosystem growth; defence and security uses; and stronger global ties. This Slovenia AI policy supersedes the earlier National Programme for AI by 2025.
BCLP — Legora is going to all 1,200 BCLP lawyers worldwide, expanding a 2025 deployment after lawyers compared it with competing legal AI products. Offices in the US, UK, Europe, Middle East and Australia follow a three-phase schedule with training. Partner Nick Myatt and global CIO Dan Surowiec led the decision.
Government of Luxembourg — Luxembourg's government, launching the AI4LUX campaign, said every civil servant would get a sovereign AI chatbot within weeks, hosted on site under its Mistral AI partnership so data stays in the country. Staff are to process sensitive information securely with it and create personal agents for routine work. A legal chatbot for the Legilux platform is in development, and one for the most-visited state websites is being prepared.
Informacijski pooblaščenec (Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia) — Slovenia's Information Commissioner issued guidance on responsible AI use in government, covering when personal data may enter AI tools and when an individual counts as non-identifiable. It requires AI answers to be verified and confirms decisions stay with a human official, tying safe AI adoption in the public sector to data protection rather than the tools themselves.
Bellegprom — Belarus's Bellegprom has AI clothing design running at member factories, with the output already on shop shelves. Svitanka knitwear carries appliques and prints drawn that way; Belvest applies the same approach to footwear. Olga Grabenya, the concern's trade and marketing head, says such stock moves through Bellegprom's own branded network. Designers and technologists stay on, because AI-generated prints still need someone judging what shoppers want.
UZ Gent — Ghent University Hospital has appointed the first full-time AI manager at a Flemish hospital to run at least 30 hospital AI projects, live or planned. In live use, AI locates the clot on CT scans in suspected stroke, replaces one of the two doctors reading each breast-screening scan, and does pre-surgical tissue-structure marking in minutes rather than hours. A doctor always has the final say, and the hospital discloses whenever an AI tool was used.
Semmelweis University and the Belügyminisztérium — The Belügyminisztérium in Hungary has opened a national AI dementia screening study called 'Mesterséges intelligencia alapú digitális kézmozgás-analízis alkalmazása a kognitív hanyatlás korai felismerésében', guided by Semmelweis University with the Országos Kórházi Főigazgatóság. Kamondi Anita's team at the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurointervention runs it across ten health institutions. Validating the tablet-based cognitive decline test on 3,000 people precedes any move into surgeries.
Government of Moldova — Moldova has paused Moldovan AI law drafting on EU advice, said Michelle Iliev, State Secretary at the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization. The European Commission is simplifying its own AI Act via the Digital Omnibus package, making a parallel effort unnecessary. AI regulation resumes once the EU framework is finalised.
Thommessen — Thommessen has chosen Harvey as its firmwide enterprise legal AI, ahead of domestic and international rivals. Chief digital officer Trine Melsether says Thommessen already runs a proprietary AI solution and trialled client-facing AI, and will co-design custom workflows with Harvey.
Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic — Czechia's Constitutional Court has switched on a rebuilt virtual assistant for AI case-law search on the court's pages and in NALUS, after weeks of testing. Liberec's Technical University spin-off nanotrix.ai wrote the system, described by the Court as the earliest such tool on any Czech court site or judgment archive. The judicial database chatbot fields spoken queries and queries in other languages; users must verify whatever comes back.
Gibraltar Regulatory Authority — The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority, acting as Information Commissioner, is among 61 signatories to a Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery, convened by the Global Privacy Assembly. Signing sets Gibraltar AI regulation alongside a common line on artificial intelligence that fabricates convincing photographs and video of identifiable people who never consented, children most at risk. Builders and users must install AI imagery safeguards, be candid about capability, pull harmful material on request, and shield children.
Office of the Data Protection Authority — Guernsey's Office of the Data Protection Authority is among 61 regulators behind the Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery and the Protection of Privacy, which the ODPA convened as secretariat and co-chair of the Global Privacy Assembly's International Enforcement Cooperation Working Group. Guernsey AI regulation now bites on systems fabricating lifelike pictures and video of real people who never agreed, minors and vulnerable groups most at risk, and co-signatories want strong safeguards, candour about system capability, reachable takedown routes for damaging material, and added protection for children. Parallel AI image rules form a Crown Dependency Data Protection Advisory on generative AI image creation, co-issued with the Isle of Man Information Commissioner and Jersey's Office of the Information Commissioner, restating that indecent images of a child stay criminal, AI-made or not, compliance resting with whoever builds and uses them. Islanders are told to tighten social-media privacy settings, treat AI apps wanting photographs or personal data warily, grasp their entitlements, and discuss internet safety with children.
Gibraltar Regulatory Authority — The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority co-signed a Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery with 60 other data protection authorities on 23 February 2026, addressing AI image generation privacy risks from realistic images and videos of identifiable individuals made without consent. It urges safeguards, transparency, removal mechanisms, and protections for children against AI-generated imagery of identifiable individuals.
Pinsent Masons — Pinsent Masons has signed a firmwide Legora partnership, a legal AI rollout that followed corporate, commercial and property pilots and now covers Transactional Services and Property, with other practice groups starting trials and 1,000 users in total. AI Champions from associate to partner level coach colleagues.
Dutch bar deans (dekens of the Nederlandse orde van advocaten) — Bar supervisors cautioned three advocates about faulty AI use in litigation and sent two on a compulsory course, an AI misuse sanction following cases flagged by judges in Arnhem, Rotterdam and Groningen. Wouter Timmermans, one of the deans, objects most to unchecked machine text being lodged with courts. More inquiries were open, though none had yet reached the disciplinary tribunal.
Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal (NAV) — Hungary's Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal now grounds its 2026 audit programme in AI tax audit selection. Vágujhelyi Ferenc, who leads NAV, sketched a single sweep across invoice feeds, till records, eKÁER consignment filings, sectoral declarations and cross-border money-flow reporting. Risky traders surface the instant a bill is cut, letting AI-driven risk screening put a reviser onto a fraudster ahead of any filing.
Regeringskansliet (Finansdepartementet) — Sweden's new AI policy, Sveriges AI-strategi, supersedes the 2018 National Approach. It targets a top-ten global ranking for artificial intelligence and world-leading AI adoption for public administration.
Greek Ministry of Interior — Greece's Ministry of Interior renewed its Google cooperation deal, extending AI training for civil servants through December 2026 with Gemini AI built into the curriculum. Since 2023, 85,772 staff have finished digital skills courses, including 35,839 who joined AI-focused sessions across 77 webinars in 2024-2025, averaging 1,130 attendees each. The new phase targets hands-on AI fluency in daily public-sector work, broadening earlier government employee AI skills efforts.
Belgeodesiya — Belgeodesiya is putting AI building recognition into the digital foundation of the State Navigation Map of the Republic of Belarus, per the State Property Committee. Accuracy runs from 65 to 90 per cent, varying with how many storeys a structure has. Settlements across 40 administrative districts have gone through satellite-image building detection, thickening the map's Buildings layer.
Civil Justice Council (CJC) — The Civil Justice Council (CJC) is consulting on an interim report under which litigators would confirm no AI helped prepare trial witness statements. Statements of case and skeleton arguments would need no AI declaration if a named legal representative takes professional responsibility. Sir Colin Birss, Chancellor of the High Court, chairs the working group behind these proposed court-document AI rules.
Gleiss Lutz — Gleiss Lutz deploys bespoke AI agents on client matters to compare settlements and monitor export controls, and uses Harvey for analysis, drafting, translation and structured documents under mandatory human review. Marc Geiger, Director of Legal Operations and Business Technologies, sees most impact in first drafts and repetitive, high-volume, structured tasks.
METROPOLE optical salon chain — METROPOLE is Latvia's first optical salon chain offering AI eye screening and digital vision testing, now across 18 salons. The chain's AI-based eye disease detection rates risk of three common conditions early, while digital testing enables remote optometrist consultations. Upgrades have cost METROPOLE over €2 million since 2024.
Higher Attestation Commission of Belarus — Belarus's Higher Attestation Commission has made AI disclosure in dissertations compulsory. Deputy chair Denis Kapskiy says the descriptive section must list the prompts an author ran and where artificial intelligence was involved. Antiplagiat, one of the standard packages used, flags the specific elements where neural networks were applied. Several 2025 dissertations already used machine learning, Kapskiy notes, with declared AI prompts and reasoned argument.
State of Lower Saxony (public schools), via FWU — Lower Saxony has made telli, an AI chatbot for schools commissioned by all 16 German states, free for every public school, says FWU, the states' media institute. Teachers and pupils get data-protection-compliant generative AI, with the language models hosted only on EU servers.
Fabric of St Peter — The Fabric of St Peter brings AI simultaneous translation to St Peter's Basilica, carrying liturgies live in up to 60 languages, partnered by the Dicastery for Communication and the technology company Translated. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of the basilica, unveiled the scheme four centuries after the 1626 consecration. A QR code inside the church opens a browser page relaying readings, prayers and chants as sound and text in each pilgrim's tongue, nothing to download. Antonio Autorino, communications head there, dates full running of the machine interpreting to spring 2026, trials among chosen worshippers having already begun.
Administrative Court of Tirana — Diella, the AI minister Albania built from Anila Bisha's voice and image, is now the subject of a court fight the actor launched to halt the government's use of her likeness. Bisha maintains her signed deal covered only a digital helper on e-Albania, not a cabinet post, and that officials skipped her consent before the switch. Lawyer Aranit Roshi labels the injunction the first legal step against the alleged misuse, with a further damages claim pending.
Estonian courts, prosecution and local councils — Machine-drafted filings now reach Estonian courts, prosecutors and councils often enough that officials lose days reading them and verifying citations that frequently prove false — the visible cost of AI in public administration. Tartu Circuit Court docked a state-appointed defence lawyer's fee by two thirds in February after an appeal leaned on Supreme Court judgments that either meant something else or were wholly fictitious; Chief Prosecutor Astrid Asi says applications of 50 or 60 pages are no longer unusual, since bulk and footnotes cost nothing to produce. Mayors describe the same drag: Põhja-Pärnumaa's Madis Koit watched hundreds of generated questions arrive during wind farm planning a year ago and freeze other business, while Rae's Gerli Lehe has clerks combing each letter line by line. A prosecution test group is meanwhile exploring generative AI in government, with Asi insisting a human makes the closing call.
Energiaügyi Minisztérium — Hungarian vocational schools have opened a 10-hour course, 'A mesterséges intelligencia alapjai', midway through this academic year, and AI teaching in vocational education must reach every ninth-grader by 31 December 2026. A trial reached 1,700 learners at 63 sites, 60 home-based and three abroad, says the Energiaügyi Minisztérium; Logiscool supplies syllabus, platform and staff training. School AI lessons should leave pupils able to wield it, follow its mechanics and spot dangers.
Hungarian Police — Misidentifications since January have dented Hungarian police facial recognition, used even for petty offences. A Nyíregyháza secondary school pupil was pursued as a fraud suspect while sitting in class 200 kilometres away; a Szeged woman stood accused of lifting a plush bear in Budapest; a 19-year-old was pinned to a shampoo theft. All three had alibis. Who supplied the kit is unpublished; Remport Ádám suspects the biometric identification cameras are Chinese-made.
Heilbrigðisstofnun Norðurlands (HSN) — Careflux, an Icelandic firm, built Skríban, an AI medical note-taking tool now piloted by four doctors at HSN (Heilbrigðisstofnun Norðurlands) in Akureyri, turning spoken consultations into clinical notes in real time. Running three to four months, the trial has yielded informal estimates of up to 50% less paperwork time, a figure not independently verified. This AI clinical documentation tool already operates at Reykjavík's Kirkjusandur Health Clinic and in parts of Landspítali University Hospital.
Ministry of Justice of North Macedonia — North Macedonia's Ministry of Justice opened consultation until mid-March on draft changes to the Law on Personal Data Protection, tackling North Macedonia AI regulation for the first time. Filed via the ENER platform in February 2026, the text lets firms cite legitimate interest for machine learning systems personal data processing during training and testing, given safeguards, plus strict data-minimisation caps.
Bundesakademie für öffentliche Verwaltung (BAköV) — The Federal Academy of Public Administration (BAköV) issued AI learning pathway (KI-Lernpfad) version 2.1, offering AI training for civil servants. Built with the AI Advisory Centre (BeKI), the pathway covers AI literacy basics, AI Act data protection and role-specific modules. Every German federal employee, not only AI or digitalisation officers, can join the civil service AI education.
Czech National Bank — The Czech National Bank has granted the first six permits under the European MiCA regulation, out of 248 filings, leaning on AI in crypto-asset licensing for the paperwork. Software trialled in the bank's ČNB Lab innovation unit runs on hardware the bank owns; the machine review of licence files flags gaps, spots contradictions across papers and audits content. Jan Procházka stressed that granting or refusing a permit always rests with ČNB experts, technology acting only in support.
Raiffeisenbank — Raiffeisenbank staff can call on about 130 varieties of AI assistants for bank employees, chief executive Igor Vida said. An auditor part-way through an inspection, by the bank's own example, hands the findings over and gets back a finished report. Vida cast the workplace AI rollout as lifting output per head instead of shrinking headcount, backed by in-house teaching on digitalisation and these tools.
Eurostat — North Macedonia trails the EU in AI tools adoption among young people, Eurostat's 2025 data shows: 45.4% of those aged 16-24 use such tools, against 63.8% across the bloc. Generative AI usage among all residents aged 16-74 reached just 22% that year, leaving a wide gap versus the EU average for both youth and the wider population.
BBC — The BBC has extended Style Assist, an AI in journalism tool, to further UK newsrooms to convert Local Democracy Reporter Scheme copy into BBC style and tone. A senior journalist checks every piece pre-publication. My Club Daily, an expanding newsroom AI pilot, sends personalised AI-generated audio bulletins to football fans.
NautaDutilh — NautaDutilh takes Legora worldwide after activation topped 90% as a 50-person trial spread to Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Rotterdam and Luxembourg. Lawyers built the legal AI rollout into daily work, won over by live cases, says Sijmen Vrolijk, director of legal and tech innovation.
Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) — The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), the Dutch Data Protection Authority, finalised its stance on Netherlands AI regulation for generative AI systems, setting conditions for safe, responsible use that respects fundamental rights. A 'values at work' scenario weighs innovation against safeguards for democracy and civil liberties. The guidance sketches future paths for generative artificial intelligence oversight rather than fixed rules.
Eversheds Sutherland (International) — Eversheds Sutherland (International) is moving roughly 1,700 lawyers and trainees beyond America onto Harvey, a legal AI platform rollout that opened with 350 lawyers immediately and widens in May 2026. Some clients joined the earlier trial. Keith Froud, Co-Global CEO, has labelled 2026 the 'Year of AI' for the firm's international arm.
Kromann Reumert — Kromann Reumert has taken Harvey firmwide, ending trials once security, compliance and Microsoft fit were tested. Lawyers rely on the legal AI platform daily, says chief information officer Jacob Brønnum-Schou, while research, drafting and review workflows scale up. Managing partner Christina Bruun Geertsen championed the move.
Rijksorganisatie voor Ontwikkeling, Digitalisering en Innovatie (RADIO) — Dutch civil servants must now finish AI training for civil servants, a 30-minute e-learning module capped by a quiz, built into the Basismodule Digitaal vakmanschap (Basic Digital Skills) programme. Content spans what AI actually is, situations where employees might run into it, and expectations for handling it responsibly across government. Officials will absorb this AI training for government workers into the compulsory Ambtelijk Vakmanschap (Civil Service Professionalism) curriculum going forward.
Vinge — Vinge has opened Harvey to its whole workforce on renewal, after heavy uptake in drafting, research, reviewing contracts and automating workflows. Chief information officer Ann-Marie Ovin calls the legal AI assistant central to daily practice. Tailored workflows and system links come with the wider licence.
Metro Slovakia — Metro Slovakia runs an autonomous store retail site in Mlynky, part of the Môj obchod partner network, staffed by day and switched to unattended AI-run operation once employees leave. Computer-vision cameras log every item taken from shelves, giving shoppers 24/7 access without a cashier on duty. Staff return each morning, so the shop is only self-operating outside normal opening hours.
HM Government of Gibraltar — Gibraltar's Central Arrears Unit now runs on a bespoke AI debt collection database, built after a hiring round for several vacancies yielded a single suitable applicant. Nigel Feetham, Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, explained the gap; IT Development Manager Karon Cano wrote the model in-house with Steven Fernandez. Machine-assisted arrears tracking replaces hand-keyed spreadsheet extracts and saves one officer at least an hour's work. A chatbot with no outside feeds returns priority-debt listings.
Hôpital Foch — Hôpital Foch in Suresnes, near Paris, has deployed Tandem Health's AI medical scribe, which drafts consultation reports automatically from doctor–patient conversations. Used in close to a thousand consultations already, it went first to documentation-heavy specialties such as neurology and urology, the hospital says.
rabota.by research centre — Neural networks already run inside business processes at 21% of firms polled by the rabota.by research centre, with 13% intending to adopt artificial intelligence. The centre questioned 2,199 service users in November 2025, from specialists to owners, mapping AI in Belarusian business. Positive feeling towards workplace neural networks reaches 56%, and 43% already draft text, answer professional queries or produce content. Employers apply them mainly in marketing analytics, planning, forecasting, production, staff training and customer service.
Guernsey Financial Services Commission — The Guernsey Financial Services Commission has issued a Policy Statement on the Use of Artificial Intelligence that openly welcomes AI in financial services — machine learning, large language models, plus agentic and generative systems — as a way to run leaner and shed paperwork. Because the Bailiwick supervises by principle, such technology already fits the regime in force: nobody needs prior sign-off or even a conversation with the Commission, and an AI build is treated no differently from any other technical or strategic undertaking under the Finance Sector Code of Corporate Governance and the Minimum Criteria for Licensing. Nothing bespoke accompanies this AI adoption stance — no rulebook, no guidance, no accreditation or certification standard. Where a firm is unsure how to proceed, the pointer is towards the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001 and the NCSC Guidelines.
Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine — Ukraine's Mriya education platform now offers an AI test generator for teachers, automating assignment creation and marking to curb cheating. It draws on 1,300-plus digitised textbooks across 30 subjects and ran in 150 schools, producing over 4,000 assignments. The Ministry of Digital Transformation aims to widen this AI-based assessment tool to 500 more schools before a nationwide launch.
General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) — Spain's General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) approved Instruction 2/2026 on 28 January 2026, setting AI rules for judges and magistrates, generative AI included. Judges may use only AI systems from the competent justice administrations or the CGPJ, and AI may never replace them in deciding cases. The Official State Gazette (BOE) then published it.
Consejo General del Poder Judicial (CGPJ) — Spanish courts face binding curbs on AI use by judges under Instruction 2/2026 from the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), published in the BOE on 30 January 2026. Algorithmic tools must stay under human command, autonomous rulings are barred, and only CGPJ-vetted software may be deployed. Profiling, behavioural forecasting and specially protected personal data via judicial artificial intelligence tools stay off-limits.
Zepos & Yannopoulos — Zepos & Yannopoulos is phasing a legal AI selection, Harvey, in across the firm, starting with advisory and tax plus corporate and commercial teams, with dispute trials under way. Co-managing partner Yerassimos Yannopoulos credits hands-on training.
Government Office (Riigikantselei) — Estonia formed the Eesti.ai Advisory Board to steer AI in government under Bolt founder Markus Villig, who chairs the panel. Answering straight to Prime Minister Kristen Michal, it supervises major artificial intelligence work spanning the whole economy, alongside other prominent Estonian tech entrepreneurs and experts.
Ordine degli Avvocati di Roma — Commissione processo civile — The Ordine degli Avvocati di Roma, through its civil procedure commission, has published a vademecum on AI use by lawyers that applies long-standing professional principles to algorithmic tools. With generative systems now routine in Rome practices for research, drafting and synthesis, the guidance leans on the EU AI Act and GDPR.
Gowling WLG — Gowling WLG is extending Harvey's legal generative AI platform across its UK LLP, whose offices span the UK, Europe and the Middle East. The choice followed an autumn 2025 Generative AI Showdown where more than 200 lawyers trialled rival generative AI tools.
HEUKING — HEUKING partners and juniors both use Harvey for first summaries, opening email and document drafts, translations and skeleton arguments, and the responsible lawyer reworks every result, says Juliane Diefenbach, Director of Knowledge Management. A firmwide roadshow took hands-on AI workshops to every office, backed by an internal prompt library.
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade — Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is piloting Ask Finn, an internal AI chatbot for passport processing, as Passport Service, Revenue and Citizens Information Board officials prepared for the Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence. Revenue's AI models route taxpayer queries more precisely to caseworkers, and Citizens Information is rolling out its AskCI bot.
HSBC (Global Legal) — HSBC is extending Harvey to its Global Legal function worldwide, a long-term in-house legal AI arrangement that compliance rules oblige the bank to call a pilot. Bob Hoyt, Group Chief Legal Officer, wants machine speed paired with the expertise of the bank's lawyers, freeing up time for higher-value strategic advice.
Consell Superior de la Justícia — Andorra's Consell Superior de la Justícia has switched on an AI case-law search holding 15,000-plus rulings, open to lawyers and citizens. Machine-generated metadata tags each entry, letting queries run in plain speech or boolean operators across every decision under one statute. A 4,000-term thesaurus guides the rulings archive, with ECLI codes for cross-border traceability.
Univerzitná nemocnica Bratislava (UNB) — Central Europe's first AI-assisted brain surgery took place at Univerzitná nemocnica Bratislava (UNB), where neurosurgeons used an AI model from the University Hospital Rio Hortega in Valladolid, Spain to scan intraoperative ultrasound in real time, flagging tumour remnants invisible to the eye. Post-operative MRI showed no residual tumour, and the patient was discharged. The case marks an early regional milestone for AI brain tumour surgery.
Isle of Man Government, Department for Enterprise (Digital Isle of Man) — £1 million backs a freshly created National AI Office (NAIO) steering Isle of Man AI regulation, overseeing how artificial intelligence takes hold across the Island. NAIO merges scattered government and industry roles under one roof, giving guidance aimed at growth, better public services and stronger AI literacy. Built atop Activate AI, the 2024 programme, it hands the Island's artificial intelligence strategy a lasting institutional home.
Region Hovedstaden (now Region Østdanmark) — Hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark have used an AI fracture detection algorithm on emergency X-rays since January 2026, supporting decisions by junior doctors and treating nurses. It runs at emergency units including Bornholm, Hvidovre, Amager, Frederikssund, Helsingør, Hillerød, Frederiksberg, Bispebjerg and Glostrup, and will cover all of the future Region Østdanmark. The goal is shorter waits and quicker discharge for patients without fractures.
Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital — Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital in Riga, Latvia, has run over 8,000 patient CT scans through Aidoc's clinical AI stroke detection tool. Using a secure mobile app, this AI stroke triage has automatically alerted the stroke team to more than 500 suspected positive cases.
Academy of Management under the President of the Republic of Belarus — Civil servants across Belarus can now take a one-day generative AI training for civil servants at the Academy of Management under the President of the Republic of Belarus. The short course builds skill with ChatGPT, YandexGPT, Gemini and similar systems for producing text, images, audio and video, adding prompt techniques suited to state-body work. It reflects wider momentum behind AI adoption in public administration, with sign-ups running from January to July 2026.
Wolters Kluwer — Wolters Kluwer's Benchmarkrapport Advocatuur 2026 puts lawyer AI use in Belgium at 55.2%, drawing on 134 sole practitioners and small to mid-sized firms. Independent advocates trail, with AI adoption absent for 46.8% of them.
Eskilstuna tingsrätt — Eskilstuna tingsrätt trimmed a large firm's fee after its lawyer relied on four AI-fabricated Högsta domstolen judgments and misread an avtalslagen clause on late acceptance as a suretyship rule. Such AI hallucinations in court filings weighed heavily, the judgment found, against paying 2,100 kronor an hour, a reduction the firm has accepted. The Swedish Bar Association had cautioned members last summer that generative tools can invent precedents and legislation.
Tele2 — Mobile operator Tele2 has rolled out AI customer call analysis from Latvian startup asya.ai for customer service. Pitch Patterns, an AI conversation analytics tool, reads tone, intonation and speech pace in Latvian and other languages, flagging unsuccessful interactions to improve service quality without manual listening.
Comunidad de Madrid (Regional Ministry of Digitalisation) — Spain's Community of Madrid says it will add AI tools for teachers to its EducaMadrid schools platform: first an email assistant that drafts, reviews and polishes, then one designing personalised pupil content automatically. Five schools will trial the features first; each teacher could save about 40 routine hours a year, it estimates.
PwC Tax & Legal (Spain) — PwC Tax & Legal in Spain has woven legal and tax AI through client work, operations and training, head Joaquín Latorre told Cinco Días. Microsoft and Harvey are allies, and an in-house environment lets the firm build tailored AI solutions for companies.
Clifford Chance — Clifford Chance has adopted document-processing tools built by Jamie Tso, a Hong Kong-based senior associate, with the Copilot Studio and Power Automate no-code AI workflow builders the firm licenses through Microsoft. Partners and associates in other offices soon sent him automation requests every other day.
Parliament of the Czech Republic — Czechia's Criminal Code (Act No. 40/2009 Sb.) now covers AI deepfake criminalisation under new Section 191a, punishing non-consensual pornographic deepfakes made or shared without the depicted person's agreement. Offenders face up to two years in prison for a standard breach, rising to five years for aggravated cases.
Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic — Czechia now permits Level 3 autonomous vehicles on public roads, the Ministry of Transport confirmed. Under SAE Level 3 conditional automation, the vehicle steers within its lane, tracks traffic and adjusts motorway speed. A person must still be ready to resume control instantly, though keeping hands on the wheel is no longer required.
National Council of the Slovak Republic — Slovakia's Act No. 318/2025 Coll., a Slovak AI regulation, folds the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) into domestic law, amending Act No. 56/2018 Z.z. on product conformity assessment. High-risk AI systems face new national conformity procedures, duties for economic operators, and enforcement mechanisms with penalties. AI system compliance follows.
In 2026, 95% of UK undergraduates report some AI use and 94% use generative AI for assessed work. Overall use was 66% in 2024.
In the MASAI randomised controlled trial of 105,934 Swedish women using the Transpara reading-support tool, AI mammography found 29% more cancers than standard double reading, cut radiologists' reading workload by ~44% and did not increase false positives (interim, Lancet Oncology 2023). Final results (The Lancet, 29 January 2026) add safety endpoints: ~12% fewer interval cancers (1.55 vs 1.76 per 1,000), 27% fewer aggressive (non-luminal-A) cancers and screen-detection sensitivity of 81% vs 74%.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority's AI Live Testing is a voluntary supervisory service letting cohorts of about five to ten firms trial live AI proofs-of-concept with the regulator. Part of the FCA's AI Lab, it began in October 2025, with a second cohort from April 2026.
The EU AI Act treats AI in recruitment and employment as 'high-risk', but the Digital Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force 27 July 2026) pushed those duties from August 2026 to 2 December 2027, and embedded product AI to 2 August 2028. Article 5 prohibitions have applied since February 2025: banned now, regulated later.
The EU's Digital Omnibus on AI, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, took effect on 27 July 2026. It shifts the AI Act deadline for high-risk AI in Machinery Regulation products, such as harvesting robots and autonomous tractors, from August 2027 to 2 August 2028.
The EU AI Act's high-risk AI rules for Annex III systems, covering migration, border control and law enforcement, missed their original 2 August 2026 start. The Digital Omnibus on AI, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, moved them to 2 December 2027, taking effect on 27 July 2026, six days before the original deadline.
The UK Home Office launched PoliceAI, a national centre for AI in policing, on 10 June 2026 with £75 million over three years to find, test and scale AI tools across the 43 forces of England and Wales. Named uses: facial recognition, deepfake detection, call transcription, triage of non-emergency calls and digital evidence, disclosure and audio-visual redaction. It says the tools could eventually free the equivalent of 3,000 officers.
Essex Police suspended live facial recognition, citing accuracy and bias risks, once it emerged its match threshold had been calibrated for another vendor's algorithm. The UK Information Commissioner's Office then audited six forces and made 107 recommendations, 93 fully and 14 partly accepted, finding no standard practice of routine bias testing.
England has created 'apprenticeship units', a new statutory class of short credential: 30 to 140 hours over 1 to 16 weeks, tied to existing occupational standards. Of the first ten units, published in April 2026, three cover AI leadership at Level 5, each 30 hours with up to £750 funding.
Estonia's national AI Leap programme for AI in schools expands to vocational schools from September 2026, adding 38,000 students and 2,000 teachers across vocational schools and the new grade-10 intake after a first phase of 20,000 upper-secondary students and 3,000 teachers from September 2025. The government is negotiating with AI developers including Anthropic and OpenAI to supply tools through a public-private AI Leap Foundation, an initiative of the President's Digital Council and the Ministry of Education and Research.
Cedefop finds AI job exposure lower on average in VET occupations than non-VET ones and projects a fairly modest 5% AI-driven employment decline in the EU. It still urges giving VET students AI skills, since graduates without them may look less employable.
An Ofsted review of early AI adopters among English schools and further education colleges found scant independent academic evidence that AI lifts educational outcomes, and no clear guidance on gauging that impact. Most providers tracked staff usage or feedback, not data measuring effects on learners.
UK AI adoption has spread without deepening. Among businesses with 10-plus staff, self-reported use of at least one AI technology rose from around 12% in late 2023 to around 35% by June 2026, and 49% at firms of 250-plus. Yet adopters' average number of AI technologies grew only from about 1.4 to 1.6, and just 10% report extensive AI use.
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the 'AI Omnibus', took effect on 27 July 2026, delaying AI Act high-risk duties: stand-alone Annex III systems from 2 December 2027 and AI in Annex I regulated products from 2 August 2028, instead of 2 August 2026. Its AI Act simplification gives small mid-caps relief once limited to SMEs, widens regulatory sandbox access with an EU-level sandbox and eases database registration for exempted systems.
Multiverse, the English apprenticeship provider training workers in AI and technology adoption, raised $70 million in May 2026 at a $2.1 billion valuation. Schroders Capital led the round, a $400 million rise on the previous valuation.
The UK government's TechFirst programme commits £187 million to digital and AI skills training: TechYouth (£24m, 1 million secondary students over three years), TechGrad (£96.8m, 1,000 undergraduate scholarships a year, 100 Research MSc places, 100 elite AI scholarships), TechExpert (£48.4m, 500 domestic PhD students) and TechLocal (£18m, regional seed funding). Separately, industry and government aim to equip 7.5 million workers, roughly 20% of the workforce, with essential AI skills by 2030.
The EU's Digital Europe Programme has put over €294 million into digital skills funding for upskilling, reskilling and skilling the workforce. An EU-funded AI Skills Academy launches in 2026.
Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) — Greece's HDPA outlawed the Hellenic Police's €4 million Smart Policing scheme under Decision 45/2025, banning AI-enabled surveillance in law enforcement. Scanning faces and fingerprints via handheld field gear, the biometric identification system for policing lacked lawful footing, regulators found, and officers were told to keep it off.
Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs (Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji) — Citizens across Poland can now ask an AI virtual assistant for government services directly inside the mObywatel app, following its 31 December 2025 debut from the Ministry of Digital Affairs. The tool runs on PLLuM, a homegrown Polish Large Language Model, and works as an AI chatbot for public services, walking people through tasks such as requesting a passport or ID card, securing a PESEL number, or notifying authorities of a car sale. It cannot see personal records or tap into state databases, and only reached the public after a two-month trial limited to 5% of users.
Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine — AI Mentor education platform is now live on Diia.Education, giving Ukraine's 3 million-plus users a Gemini-based virtual helper backed by Google.org.

Catharina Ziekenhuis, UMC Utrecht — Faint lung nodules once easy to overlook are now caught earlier at Catharina Ziekenhuis in Eindhoven and University Medical Center Utrecht, thanks to Qure.ai's qXR software running on ordinary chest X-rays, an application of AI in radiology for lung cancer detection. The CE-certified system highlights suspicious spots no matter why a scan was requested, so people X-rayed for unrelated reasons still gain a benefit. Both hospitals set up new opportunistic screening pathways around this incidental lung nodule detection on chest X-rays, turning routine imaging into an added chance to catch cancer sooner.
University of Amsterdam — University of Amsterdam's AI chat platform university tool, UvA AI Chat, runs solely on in-house servers, keeping data off outside systems. Staff build subject-specific bots from course content; learners get free access with no premium tiers. The setup favours digital autonomy over commercial AI chat tool for education alternatives.
Equinor — Norwegian firm Equinor's use of AI in oil and gas operations produced 1.3 billion kroner in combined savings and value creation during 2025, split with partners. Software watches 700 rotating machines for early faults, reads seismic data across 2 million square kilometres tenfold faster, and guided well planning that shaved 120 million kroner off one project — gains the company frames as AI in energy operations paying off.
NHO (Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise) — AI adoption Norwegian businesses hit 55 percent, more than double the 24 percent of 2023, per Samfunnsøkonomisk Analyse's survey for NHO. One in five firms rank as front-runners, embedding artificial intelligence use in Norway's corporate sector into core operations for outsized productivity gains.

Chief physician Dmitry Kaprin said these tools track patients from diagnosis through recovery, making Yegoryevsk the region's first hospital to apply artificial intelligence across its full care pathway.
TNO — Dutch government AI applications climbed tenfold within twelve months, from just 8 in 2024 to 81 by 2025, per TNO's Overheidsbrede Monitor GenAI for the Ministry of the Interior. Of these 3 categories tracked, municipalities top the adoption list with 34 tools, largely chatbots sorting information, while 37 of 81 (46%) have moved into everyday routine use. For most public bodies, generative AI use in government still means backend support: 78% serve internal workflows rather than resident-facing tasks.
Russian Railways — Chelyabinsk-Glavny station now runs an AI shunting routing system, the first of its kind deployed by Russian Railways, as part of its automated rail traffic management push. An onboard module works out the best path for every train or shunting locomotive, weighing current and planned network load while tracking rolling stock live to stop routes clashing. Once set, the digital order passes straight to the operations management system controlling signals, leaving staff to supervise rather than intervene directly. Track and locomotive use tighten up, planning gets quicker, and pulling manual judgement out of routine moves cuts safety risk.
Magyar Nemzeti Bank (Hungarian National Bank) — Banking regulators in Hungary have made AI governance in banking mandatory: the Hungarian National Bank (MNB)'s Recommendation 13/2025 (XII.3.) on Digital Transformation of Credit Institutions supersedes the 2021 version and inserts a fresh section on responsible AI deployment. By 30 June 2026, lenders must produce an AI sub-strategy and lodge it with the MNB, meeting standards touching AI risk oversight, data handling, cybersecurity for AI tools, in-house skills and how AI is communicated to the public. Most obligations begin 1 April 2026.
French Government / Ministry of Justice — A newly formed directorate, DPIA, now sits inside the French Ministry of Justice's secretariat-general, tasked with pushing AI in judicial administration forward under Élise Farge Di Maria's leadership. Magistrates and court agents are already trialling an AI assistant built on sovereign hosted infrastructure, handling document analysis, drafting, summarising and translation. Rather than a one-off project, this establishes AI adoption in courts through a permanent internal structure.
Government of Hungary — A fresh institutional structure for enforcing the European Union's AI Act now exists in Hungary, thanks to Act LXXV of 2025 — a landmark piece of Hungarian AI regulation. Oversight duties split between two bodies: the National Accreditation Authority handles notification tasks, while a designated ministry office leads on market surveillance. Backing them is a newly formed advisory group, the Hungarian Artificial Intelligence Council, and violators risk penalties climbing to EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover. This EU AI Act implementation brought most requirements into force.
Dutch Police (Politie) — Unclear results ended a decade of Dutch predictive policing: the Crime Anticipation System (CAS), running since October 2015, has been phased out. A logistic regression model scanned historical police records to flag likely crime times and locations. An internal evaluation cited murky technical performance and doubtful payoff for this crime forecasting system, triggering its retirement.
Urząd Miasta Poznania (Poznań City Hall) — Poznań is piloting ShpaRAG, an AI assistant for citizen services built on Poland's PLLuM language model, developed with the HIVE AI consortium and NASK. It uses retrieval-augmented generation so call centre staff find answers to resident queries faster. As an AI-powered public service assistant, it joins other tools the city runs, including a generative AI helpline consultant and voicebots for appointment reminders.
bol.com — Inside bol.com's app, Cadeauhulp now handles AI gift recommendation by asking who the gift is for, the relationship, and budget, then pulling matches from the Dutch retailer's catalogue. Agency partner DEPT co-built the launch, bol.com's debut into AI-driven gift suggestions for browsing products.
States of Guernsey Committee for Home Affairs — Guernsey wants AI deepfake pornography made a crime, under reforms to the Sexual Offences Law 2020 spanning nine areas of sexual offending. Ministers also propose banning cyberflashing, requesting fabricated images, and holding indecent cartoons of children. Police raised the issue after meeting cases of non-consensual synthetic images current rules failed to cover.
BEC member banks — Salesforce's Agentforce platform now powers AI agents in banking advisory services across BEC's member banks, the shared IT centre for Danish banks. Advisors already lean on a live generative tool to draft customer replies inside online banking, while a second batch of agents, still piloted, works as an on-demand assistant, condensing messages and rendering them in English. This deployment of AI agents for bank advisors covers routine, command-driven tasks rather than open-ended judgement calls.
Statistics Finland — Finnish enterprise AI adoption jumped 14 percentage points year-on-year to hit 38% in spring 2025, Statistics Finland found. Information and communication businesses topped the ranking at 80% penetration, while larger organisations — headcount above 100 — reported 68% were using AI technologies.
Nova Poshta — Every Nova Poshta outlet now gets a daily photo review under a new AI branch inspection system, examining whether staff uniforms, marketing-material placement and bin levels meet internal rules. R&D Director Yevgeniy Khomenko credited the AI-based compliance monitoring with lowering costs previously spent on senior managers travelling to sites in person, alongside gains in overall service quality.
MHP — MHP, Ukraine's largest poultry producer, credits five years of AI in agribusiness with economic gains totalling millions of dollars. Taras Goshovsky put the 2025 figure alone at above $1 million, with combined earnings since the 2020 launch already well past that threshold. Sensors and predictive software now govern temperature inside poultry sheds moment by moment while guiding harvest projections across MHP's farmland, a use of machine learning in poultry farming that spans both livestock and crops.

Sejfa — A generative AI claims intake insurance tool called Smart Skada now handles Swedish home insurance customers for Sejfa, the digital service owned by Länsförsäkringsbolagen. Instead of scripted replies typical of reproduction-style chatbots, this system drafts original follow-up questions and answers while collecting damage details through conversation. Testing began in September 2024, and strong outcomes led to a full launch, with expansion planned across Länsförsäkringsbolagen throughout the year. The generative AI insurance chatbot marks a shift from rule-based automation toward dynamic, self-generated dialogue.
Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation — ANON, Croatia's new AI court decision anonymisation system, strips identifying details from rulings across every court and posts them to one searchable public portal. Linked to eSpis, it pulls each ruling 15 days after dispatch for automatic redaction and metadata indexing, retiring manual redaction of judicial rulings nationwide.
Bruun & Hjejle — Danish law firm Bruun & Hjejle now embeds Harvey AI legal work in daily operations, speeding routine tasks, deepening research and untangling dense filings. Partners call this one strand of a deliberate AI strategy for stronger client service, part of a wider push toward AI-assisted document analysis.
Lietuvos Aukščiausiasis Teismas (Supreme Court of Lithuania) — Lithuania's Supreme Court is testing TeDIA, a pilot assistant using AI press release drafting for courts to turn rulings into draft statements. Staff then rework the machine-generated text with queries and manual edits before sign-off. The trial, running through mid-2025, extends 2024 groundwork with Vilnius University into practical AI-assisted court communications.
The UK Government Communication Service's in-house generative-AI toolset, 'Assist', reaches over 4,500 communicators in more than 210 organisations, above 70 per cent of potential users. GCS reports about three hours saved per user weekly, some GBP 5.5 million in projected annual efficiencies and 98 per cent of surveyed users finding it useful (Net Promoter Score 62). The first cross-government generative-AI tool to go 'live', it won a 2025 National AI Award.
By September 2025, 61% of UK lawyers used generative AI in day-to-day work. In January, AI use stood at 46%.
A four-centre observational study in Poland (ACCEPT/OperA project), published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology in August 2025, gave the first real-world evidence of AI deskilling among clinicians: endoscopists' adenoma detection rate on standard, non-AI colonoscopies fell from 28% before routine AI exposure to 22% after. The design was not randomised, and the authors note its population differs from the main ACCEPT trial target, so generalisability is unconfirmed. It is a rare documented downside of clinical AI.
Brainomix 360 e-Stroke, CT-analysis AI from an Oxford University spinout, guides treatment and transfer decisions across NHS stroke networks in England. A Royal Berkshire Hospital study in Frontiers in Neurology linked it to a tripling in patients reaching functional independence, 16% to 48%, and a real-world evaluation found mechanical thrombectomy up over 50%. The study was pre/post observational, not randomised, and the vendor-reported scale of about 60,000 patients at every English stroke centre is unverified.
EU AI Act bans in force since 2 February 2025, and unaffected by the 2026 delay to high-risk rules, cover predictive policing based only on profiling or personality traits and facial recognition databases built by untargeted internet or CCTV scraping. Police use of live remote biometric identification in public places is also barred outside narrowly defined purposes.
Police live facial recognition in London led to more than 1,300 arrests between January 2024 and September 2025. The National Physical Laboratory found no statistically significant performance gaps by age, gender or ethnicity at UK forces' settings. The Home Office publishes this on its own policy; it holds only with correct settings.
England has a Level 4 'AI and automation practitioner' apprenticeship standard (ST1512), approved for delivery on 10 December 2025, for non-specialist operational staff using AI and automation tools rather than AI engineers. It typically lasts 18 months, with a 420-hour minimum, up to £18,000 funding per apprentice and Ofqual providing external quality assurance.
Cedefop's pilot European Vocational Teacher Survey of 735 VET teachers in 23 EU Member States finds 29% using AI tools often or very often. Yet 31% say AI skills for teachers need major work in spotting relevant tools, and a similar share feel unready to judge AI's ethical risks and biases.
AI adoption in EU enterprises with 10 or more employees reached 20.0% in 2025, 6.5 percentage points above 2024's 13.5%. Uptake climbs with company size (17% small, 30.4% medium, 55.0% large) and spans 42.0% in Denmark to 5.2% in Romania.
Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus — Belarus's Council of Ministers approved the Concept of Ensuring Sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus in the Field of Digital Development until 2030 under Resolution No 1074, the country's first coordinated strategy on digital sovereignty. It sets principles for national ICT control, faster rollout of new technology, and modernisation of government, economic and social services, folding AI in public administration into this wider push. As a foundational document it lays out a digital independence policy framework rather than detailed implementation steps.
Government of Luxembourg (tabled by Minister Elisabeth Margue in the Chamber of Deputies) — Draft Law No. 8476 enacts the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) at national level, part of AI regulation in Luxembourg, naming the CNPD lead market watchdog and sandbox operator. The CSSF and Commissariat aux Assurances cover financial and insurance oversight, with penalties and redress under EU AI Act implementation also fixed. As of July 2026 the bill still awaited committee approval, after opinions from the Council of State and other bodies.
Parliament of Albania (Kuvendi i Republikës së Shqipërisë) — Automated decision-making AI regulation in Albania runs through Law No. 124/2024, replacing the 2008 statute from 1 February 2025. Article 20 echoes GDPR Article 22: a purely machine-driven ruling, profiling included, cannot stand alone if it carries serious legal weight, absent human oversight. Article 53 extends this AI profiling safeguard to policing, blocking automated bias tied to sensitive data. Breach fines reach 2 billion Albanian lek or 4 percent of global turnover.
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA — FINMA's Supervisory Guidance 08/2024 sets expectations for AI governance financial sector oversight in Switzerland, flagging risks institutions must manage: model risk, data quality issues, IT and cyber vulnerabilities, growing third-party reliance, and legal and reputational fallout from artificial intelligence risk management failures. Finding most firms still at an early maturity stage, FINMA now requires processes to identify, assess, control and monitor these exposures.
Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State — Vatican City State's Pontifical Commission adopted Decree N. DCCII, setting out Guidelines on Artificial Intelligence effective 1 January 2025. The rules shape AI governance in Vatican City State on data protection, non-discrimination and human oversight, with sector rules spanning health, heritage, courts and security. A five-member Commission on Artificial Intelligence within the Governorate will oversee this AI ethics framework.

These cover a Digital Taskforce for AI, a centre on AI's societal impact, a Danish-language model platform, and open-source Danish text data — Denmark's national AI strategy.
High-Level Advisory Committee on Artificial Intelligence under the Prime Minister — Greece national AI strategy now exists in writing: "A Blueprint for Greece's AI Transformation", from the High-Level Advisory Committee on Artificial Intelligence under the Prime Minister, coordinated by the Special Secretariat of Foresight, formed November 2023. Six flagship programmes span government administration, schooling, research, technology and innovation. This is Greece AI policy framework in practice.
Austrian Federal Government (Federal Chancellery and Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure) — The Federal Government's KI-Umsetzungsplan 2024 sets out 47 Austrian AI policy measures across all twelve federal ministries, extending AIM AT 2030 as an interim report. Eight priority areas include trustworthy AI, resilience and security, climate neutrality, AI literacy, digital administration and governance, favouring short- to medium-term action. This national AI strategy ties each measure to European values and the EU AI Act.
Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation — Moldova's Government staked its stance on AI regulation in a White Paper on Artificial Intelligence and Data Governance, drafted by the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation to steer the nation's tech landscape. Non-binding, it signals intent, paving way for future measures unwritten. Its goal: ethical, inclusive, sustainable AI governance matching EU norms.
Federal Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) — Eight rules now shape AI use federal civil servants must follow in Austria's federal public service, set by the Federal Chancellery's KI-Guidelines. Staff keep oversight and final accountability, treating tools as merely supportive, restricted to data protection-compliant inputs, with generated content flagged openly. Outputs face screening for bias and ethics, and sustainability extends AI tools in public service beyond accuracy.
Belgian Data Protection Authority (DPA/GBA) — Belgium's Belgian Data Protection Authority released a 23-page brochure on 19 September 2024 under Belgium AI regulation, mapping how the EU AI Act meshes with the GDPR to guide AI compliance frameworks. Titled "Artificial Intelligence Systems and the GDPR - A Data Protection Perspective", it shows where core privacy duties like openness, fair processing, lawful basis, minimal data use, limited purpose and accountability now stretch to cover AI systems, plus fresh or heavier obligations placed on providers and deployers handling personal information.
Government of Andorra — A newly created body, the Data Intelligence Agency (AID), now leads Andorra AI governance under the Government of Andorra's Decree 327/2024. Its remit spans executing the national data and AI strategy, building a shared methodology, and drafting ethical and regulatory rules for artificial intelligence. AID also champions real-world projects blending data analytics with AI, shaping the country's Andorran AI governance strategy going forward.
Government of the Republic of Serbia — A decision by the Government of the Republic of Serbia, published in the Official Gazzette on 31 July 2024, gave the country its Council for Artificial Intelligence, a step shaping Serbia AI policy. Prof. Dr. Igor Peško leads the group, whose ranks pull together voices from public administration, universities and business to steer and check progress on the nation's AI development strategy. Beyond advising, members are charged with shaping and reviewing the strategy's action plan and pushing forward legislation and rules touching artificial intelligence.
Council of Ministers (Këshilli i Ministrave) — Albania's Council of Ministers made binding rules for AI use in public sector systems across the Republic of Albania through Decision No. 479, setting methodology and technical standards for artificial intelligence government systems. The central obligation requires human oversight built into each system, so people can review and correct outputs that turn out wrong or cause harm. Unlike voluntary guidance seen elsewhere, this measure carries legal force within Albania's public administration.
Government of the Czech Republic (via Ministry of Industry and Trade) — Czechia adopted its Czech Republic AI policy blueprint on 24 July 2024, naming targets to reach by 2030 across seven linked fields: research, teaching, skills-building, legal and ethical questions, security, commerce, and government operations. Officials behind the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy of the Czech Republic 2030 (NAIS) frame the document as a push to turn the country from a mere buyer of advanced AI systems into a builder of them, a shift also described as pursuing a national AI strategy for Czechia.
Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale (AgID) and Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri — AgID's Italy AI policy blueprint, the Italian Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2024-2026, rests on four macro-areas: Research, Public Administration, Business and Training. Gianluigi Greco chaired the panel shaping it; the document adds a monitoring system plus regulatory analysis. It stands as Italy's leading Italian AI regulation reference through 2026.
Data Protection Commission — Ireland's Data Protection Commission issued 'AI, Large Language Models and Data Protection' on 18 July 2024, mapping GDPR and Irish law onto large language model training and use. The guidance addresses AI data protection concerns for organisations building generative AI tools, covering fairness, lawfulness, transparency, storage limitation, data subject rights and automated decision-making.
European Parliament and Council of the European Union — Spain AI regulation now runs on Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, adopted 13 June 2024 by the European Parliament and the Council and printed in the EU Official Journal, applying automatically with no domestic transposition step. Outright bans hit unacceptable AI practices, high-risk systems face fresh duties, and each member state must appoint a watchdog — AESIA got that job in Spain. A single bloc-wide text thus decides deployment rules under this risk-tiered EU AI Act.
Government of Romania — Romania AI policy for 2024-2027 rests on six priorities under the National Strategy in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (SN-IA): skills, infrastructure, research, technology transfer, wider societal uptake, and governance. Government Decision HG 832/2024, adopted 11 July, set up an Inter-ministerial Commission for the Coordination of the Implementation, drawing on 34 institutions. It doubles as national AI regulation, reaching government and society alike.
Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine — Kyiv favours a phased path to AI regulation in Ukraine: self-regulation first, later a dedicated statute matching the EU AI Act. The Ministry of Digital Transformation's White Paper on Artificial Intelligence Regulation in Ukraine outlines a sandbox, conduct codes, labelling and sector advice, short of binding rules. Ukrainian AI law remains a proposal.
Malta Digital Innovation Authority — Malta launched the world's first national AI certification programme in October 2019 through the Malta Digital Innovation Authority's voluntary AI Innovative Technology Arrangement (AI ITA) scheme. Approval follows a risk-based assessment against published objectives on governance, security, auditability and data protection. The ITAS Certification Regulations (Subsidiary Legislation 591.01) fixed fees and legal mechanics for this AI compliance certification route, and the Technology Assurance Sandbox (MDIA-TAS) provides parallel testing for iterative development.
Federal Public Service Policy and Support (BOSA) / Federal Public Service Economy — A Royal Decree created a Steering Committee on Artificial Intelligence (Sturingscomité inzake artificiële intelligentie) within the Federal Public Service Policy and Support and the Federal Public Service Economy, advising the federal government on Belgium AI policy.

Government of Spain, Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service — 1.5 billion euros: Spain has pledged that much behind the Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2024, adopted 14 May to refresh the older 2020 ENIA plan for faster-moving generative AI. One pillar builds capacity through supercomputing, the ALIA language models and talent pipelines; a second drives uptake via GobTechLab, Kit Consulting and Kit Digital; a third anchors ethics and oversight under the Spanish AI Supervisory Agency (AESIA). This is the backbone of Spain's AI strategy, ratified by the Council of Ministers, running through 2024-2025.
Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania — Lithuania's Seimas set eleven principles governing public-sector AI governance under Resolution No. XIV-2620: oversight, accountability, traceability, quality control, equality, non-abuse, transparency, protection of human interests. These AI deployment principles bind government bodies, with no stated enforcement mechanism.
Government of Andorra — Andorra's Government has issued a Code of Ethics on Artificial Intelligence, an official guide steering how ministries, companies and the public approach AI ethics code Andorra requires. Principles cover oversight by humans, openness, safeguarding data and answerability, mirroring benchmarks set by UNESCO, the OECD and the Council of Europe. Certain public-sector uses must follow it; everyone else may choose to apply this responsible AI governance framework.
Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde, DSB) — Austria's Datenschutzbehörde (DSB) claimed oversight of high-risk AI deployed in policing, courts and electoral processes, marking its debut FAQ on AI data protection compliance. Firms deploying such systems must meet GDPR's lawfulness, transparency, minimisation and accuracy tests, cross-referenced against the EU AI Act. Handling personal data through automated systems now falls under both frameworks simultaneously.
Financial Conduct Authority — No dedicated rulebook is coming for AI in UK financial markets: the FCA says existing rules already cover it. Its AI Update points to Consumer Duty and the Senior Managers and Certification Regime as sufficient for risks from AI in financial services, sparing firms extra compliance layers under this approach to AI regulation in financial markets.
Cabinet Office — Procurement Policy Note 02/24 pushes AI in government procurement toward greater openness across Whitehall. Suppliers must flag any AI role in drafting bids, authorities must probe related risks, and contracts must bind data used to train AI models. Agencies, public bodies and central departments fall within this transparency in AI procurement drive.
Government of Flanders — Belgium's Flanders region has locked in five more years of funding under the Vlaams Beleidsplan Artificiële Intelligentie (Flanders AI Policy Plan), approved 22 March 2024 and covering 2024-2028. Money splits three ways: 14.185 million euros yearly for core research via the Flanders AI Research Programme, backing for firms adopting AI tools, plus ethics, legal and skills work run by the Knowledge Centre Data & Society and Flemish AI Academy. Total spend across the Belgium AI strategy lands near 34 million euros a year.

Each faced a 30 April 2024 deadline for a written plan on artificial intelligence oversight.
Austrian Parliament (Nationalrat) — Austria's Parliament passed a law reshaping AI regulation Austria-wide, amending the KommAustria-Gesetz and Telekommunikationsgesetz 2021. RTR now hosts the KI-Servicestelle (AI Service Desk), a single contact point guiding businesses and citizens through AI rules, while a KI-Beirat panel of eleven specialists advises the federal government on AI's ethical and societal fallout — an AI governance advisory board, not an enforcement body. BGBl. I Nr. 6/2024 carries the text, published 26 February 2024.
Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment — Ireland AI regulation now has an independent advisory voice: the AI Advisory Council held its opening session with Dr Patricia Scanlon chairing. Dara Calleary founded the panel to give ministers impartial specialist input, seeking public confidence in artificial intelligence built around trustworthiness and human needs. Members will also produce their own AI policy advice tracking new developments, dangers and possibilities.
Swedish fintech Klarna says an internal Copy Assistant writes about 80 per cent of its marketing copy, alongside generative-AI image tools such as Midjourney, DALL-E and Adobe Firefly. In May 2024 it reported image-production costs down around $6 million and the image cycle cut to seven days from six weeks, crediting AI with roughly $10 million in yearly marketing savings and 25 per cent less external agency spend. Later cutbacks to its AI customer-service agents left marketing untouched, and these figures were never retracted.
The National Audit Office measured government AI adoption across 87 UK central government bodies for its March 2024 report. By autumn 2023, 37% had deployed AI and 70% were piloting or planning it.
The Bank of England and FCA's 2024 survey of 118 firms found 75% of UK financial services firms already using AI, up from 58% in 2022. Another 10% plan AI adoption within three years.
Government of Spain, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation — Spain claims the European Union's first AI regulatory sandbox, created via Royal Decree 817/2023 (8 November 2023), where companies—chiefly SMEs and startups—pilot high-risk systems against draft EU AI Regulation demands ahead of enforcement. Working jointly with the European Commission, the project delivered 16 compliance guides through AESIA by December 2025, giving businesses practical AI compliance testing rather than theoretical guidance.
Garante per la protezione dei dati personali — Ten binding rules now govern AI in healthcare within Italy's National Health Service, laid out in a Decalogue from the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante Privacy), forming the country's public health service oversight standard. Designing, training and running these systems must satisfy three anchoring principles: openness about how automated choices get made, human checks on algorithmic outputs, and protection against biased or unfair treatment.
Datatilsynet (Danish Data Protection Authority) — Danish bodies building or rolling out AI systems must satisfy duties set by Datatilsynet: legal basis, informing those affected, and data protection impact assessments — new guidance on AI in public authorities. A companion survey tracked adoption across government nationwide.
Federal Public Service Policy and Support (BOSA) — Belgium's Raadgevend Comité Ethiek inzake Data en Artificiële Intelligentie (Advisory Committee on Ethics for Data and Artificial Intelligence), created by Royal Decree on 4 October 2023, shapes AI policy in government federally.

It draws on EU High-Level Expert Group guidelines and OECD AI Principles, tying to Malta's national AI strategy, with oversight under a National Technology Ethics Committee at the MDIA.
President of the Russian Federation — President Vladimir Putin's Decree No. 490 launched Russia's National Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence — a Russia AI strategy stretching to 2030 that covers research capacity, computing infrastructure, data access, skilled talent and uptake throughout government and industry. Decree No. 124 revised the plan on 15 February 2024, introducing fresh benchmarks for home-grown computing power, large-scale generative models, how widely organisations deploy AI, and trust rules governing public-sector systems. This places Russian national AI policy on a longer horizon than most comparable national plans.
Dutch government (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy) — SAPAI, the Dutch government's Strategic Action Plan for Artificial Intelligence, sets over a hundred measures pairing public investment with joint work between industry and researchers. It funds entrepreneurs and scientists, builds digital infrastructure and data systems, and adds ethical and legal safeguards for citizens' rights under this national AI plan. The AI strategy targets economic and societal gains from AI for the country.
Malta Digital Innovation Authority and the Maltese Government — Malta now has a national AI strategy: 'The Ultimate AI Launchpad: A Strategy and Vision for Artificial Intelligence in Malta 2030', from the Maltese Government's Malta.AI Taskforce under the Malta Digital Innovation Authority. Three pillars anchor it — investment, public and private sector uptake — backed by education, ethics and infrastructure, plus 72 actions. Six pilots span traffic, health, tourism, utilities and other services, aiming for a top-ten global rank by 2030 — Malta AI policy in practice.
Government of the Czech Republic — The Committee for Artificial Intelligence (Výbor pro umělou inteligenci) oversees delivery of Czechia AI policy under the first National AI Strategy, tracking targets and endorsing action plans. Housed in the Government Council for the Information Society, within the Ministry of Industry and Trade, this AI governance body gathers several ministries, the Technology Agency, the Academy of Sciences and other stakeholders.
Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs (Erhvervsministeriet) — Four goals anchor Denmark's national artificial intelligence strategy: putting people first in AI ethics, building up Danish research capacity, helping companies expand through AI adoption, and pushing public services toward world-class delivery. Six ethical principles and 24 initiatives back the plan, funded with DKK 60 million across 2019 to 2027.
Federal Government of Germany (Bundesregierung / BMFTR) — German AI policy took formal shape when the Federal Cabinet approved the Federal Government's Artificial Intelligence Strategy, aiming to boost Germany's standing in AI research, development and application against international rivals. Revisions in December 2020 brought pandemic response and sustainability into scope, and the BMFTR later issued its AI Action Plan, mapping eleven fields of action and committing more than 1.6 billion euros in funding. This sequence marks Germany's shift from an initial artificial intelligence strategy toward binding investment pledges.
President of the Republic of Belarus — AI development Belarus gained legal grounding when the President's Decree No 8 took effect on 28 March 2018, licensing artificial intelligence, machine learning and neural network systems within the High Technology Park (HTP), plus autonomous vehicles and blockchain. HTP's tax and legal terms were extended to 2049. BelTA reports resident expertise now spans artificial intelligence in Belarus's digital economy, machine learning, Internet of Things and augmented reality — the root document centring AI in national digital strategy.
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment — Finland AI strategy, issued by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, aims to make the country a global leader in applying artificial intelligence across business, government services and society. Titled 'Finland's age of artificial intelligence', it sets out recommended actions for the Nordic nation to capitalise on AI-driven growth. The Finnish AI policy framework targets adoption across multiple sectors rather than one industry.
Reach plc, the UK's largest commercial news publisher, uses Guten, an in-house AI tool that turns trusted news-wire copy into stories for its titles, which journalists review before publication. At WAN-IFRA's Newsroom Summit, chief digital publisher David Higgerson said Guten cut breaking-news publishing from nine minutes to 90 seconds and supported about a quarter of output.
The UK government's Incubator for AI (i.AI), part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, grouped over 50,000 Independent Water Commission consultation responses into policy themes in about two hours with its in-house 'Consult' tool, at £240 in computing. It says the job would otherwise take weeks; human experts needed 22 hours to check the output. DSIT estimates Consult could save about 75,000 days of manual analysis a year, roughly £20 million in staff time, across the 500-plus annual government consultations.
HSBC's Dynamic Risk Assessment, an AI anti-money-laundering system co-developed with Google, screens around 980 million monthly transactions. Group head of financial crime Jennifer Calvery says it catches two to four times as much financial crime as its rules-based predecessor, with 60% fewer false-positive alerts, freeing investigators for real risk. HSBC's figures lack independent evaluation.
