European AI Office page updated with AI Act amendments and implementation engagement (3 minute read)
European Commission / European AI Office· EU
The European Commission’s page says the AI Omnibus was adopted in June 2026 and introduced targeted amendments to the AI Act; those amendments entered into force on 27 July. It also says engagement with businesses and other stakeholders started before the AI Act entered into force, allowing businesses to plan ahead and prepare for full implementation.
Why it matters to you
The page points firms to engagement activities and describes the Commission’s account of amendments and preparation. It does not by itself specify what any particular AI product or business must do.
UODO discusses AI use in local government and data-protection risks (3 minute read)
Polish Personal Data Protection Office (UODO)· EU
UODO reports a discussion at the Polish Towns Forum about using AI in local government. It says such use could improve and speed up resident services, particularly where smaller units have limited human and financial resources. It also says such a solution may threaten personal-data protection, privacy and information security.
Why it matters to you
The item records risks raised by UODO in the local-government setting, including questions about privacy, information security and what data to process. It does not state that every business use of AI presents those risks.
