Europe's first Uber-bookable autonomous ride launched in Zagreb with a licensed safety operator behind the wheel. The role split across three companies, and the human still sitting inside it, describes most enterprise AI deployments more accurately than any vendor business case does.
The e-Evidence Regulation applies from 18 August 2026. A European production order can now compel your cloud or AI vendor to produce prompts, logs and account data within ten days, and your organisation is unlikely to be the addressee or to hear about it first.
Rebranding, substantially modifying or repurposing an AI system can move the full provider obligations onto your organisation under Article 25 of the AI Act. The July 2026 Omnibus amendment sharpened the rules, and one common vendor clause can leave you with the duties and none of the documentation.
Taiwan confirmed AI agent-assisted attacks on government agencies in July. A security vendor separately documented one campaign built from open-source frameworks. No frontier model gate was crossed, which is why vendor safety cases were never going to cover it.
Germany's BaFin started supervising AI in banks and insurers on 29 July, two days after the Digital Omnibus softened the AI literacy duty. Fines reach €35 million, the sampling is risk-based, and the supervisor depends on what the system is used for.
The Digital Omnibus delayed the AI Act, so many roadmaps now say 2027. Article 50 was not part of that delay. AI Act transparency duties apply from 2 August 2026, they reach chatbots and synthetic content regardless of risk tier, and most of the work lands on deployers.
