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.
Chime cut 10% of its workforce and named AI. The same announcement removed a management layer and brought staff back to the office. Three changes, one explanation, and no way to test it. What evidence a board should ask for, and what EU consultation law adds.
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.
Germany advertised 288 AI job titles in Q1 2026, and 59% sit outside tech. Indeed's data and HSBC's new governance hires show AI work leaving the technology function, taking Article 4 and Article 26 duties with it.
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.
