The EU and Sweden are strengthening AI governance by advancing AI regulation, digital resilience, and oversight of AI-related data processing.

EU

AI Act

The Commission presented the European Technological Sovereignty Package, a set of measures covering semiconductors, AI, cloud and open source, including a new Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) and an EU Open Source Strategy, as part of Europe's broader ambition to become an "AI continent" and reduce digital dependency.

The Commission published a press release announcing that AI Act enforcement will receive independent expert support, setting up a new expert group to assist the AI Office in its enforcement tasks under the AI Act.

DSA

The Commission published draft guidelines on trusted flaggers under the DSA and opened a stakeholder feedback period. Trusted flaggers are entities whose notices of illegal content must be processed with priority by very large online platforms.

GDPR

IMY held a roundtable to discuss the current Swedish rules on conditions for processing personal data relating to criminal offences (brottsuppgifter). The discussion focused on how the existing national regulation intersects with GDPR obligations and whether current rules are fit for purpose given the evolving digital and AI landscape.
