TechPolicy Press unpacks the newly surfaced enforcement detail around X and what it implies for researcher data access under the Digital Services Act, which matters for accountability work that depends on verifiable platform data.
Regulation
GOV.UK publishes Minister Narayan’s Founders Forum speech, setting out the government’s current AI direction across growth, adoption and online safety framing, which is a useful statement of policy posture for UK AI governance mapping.
Cases
AP reports an Albanian actress has initiated legal action seeking to stop the government’s use of her likeness for an “AI minister” persona, a clean example of emerging disputes over consent, identity and public sector synthetic media deployment.
Academia
The IPKat analyses how the UK’s new DUAA automated decision making rules may reshape “creative fairness” debates, including what “meaningful human involvement” could mean in practice for platform and recommendation contexts.
Events
CREATE’s AI Regulation Early Career Researchers Conference runs 31 March to 1 April 2026, positioning itself around AI regulation scholarship and emerging research agendas, which is useful for scanning new UK and EU governance work.
Takeaway
The strongest thread is the practical reconfiguration of “human involvement” and accountability in automated systems, with knock on effects for fairness arguments and governance evidence. In parallel, public sector AI signalling and identity related disputes keep pushing “consent plus traceability” to the forefront. Net effect: governance work that cannot evidence oversight, provenance and impact will remain brittle.
