Reuters reported that EU countries and European Parliament lawmakers failed to reach agreement on proposed changes to the AI Act after 12 hours of negotiations. The dispute concerns whether sectors already covered by sector-specific rules should be exempted from parts of the AI Act, with talks expected to resume next month. 

Reuters reported that Elon Musk was due to return to the witness stand in Musk v Altman in the trial over OpenAI’s future. The case concerns allegations that OpenAI departed from its founding nonprofit mission, making it directly relevant to AI corporate governance. 

Regulation 

  • Ofgem published AI Reg Lab: February 2026 as a transparency document. The document records findings from Ofgem’s AI Reg Lab held on 25 February 2026, including regulatory approach, good practice, challenges and innovation in the energy sector. 

  • National Cyber Security Centre published Understanding adversarial attacks against Machine Learning and AI. The paper introduces common language for adversarial machine learning attacks and supports threat modelling, security awareness and collaboration around AI system risk. 

Cases

  • CourtListener reflects that Musk v Altman had jury trial settings for 28 and 29 April 2026 before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland. The case concerns Elon Musk’s challenge to OpenAI’s alleged departure from its founding nonprofit mission and therefore raises governance questions about control, corporate structure and advanced AI development. 

Academia

  • Springer published Charting the AI perception gap: divergent views on risk, benefit, and value between experts and the public challenge the societal acceptance of AI in AI & Society. The article is relevant to AI governance because it connects expert and public perceptions to safety, design and alignment debates. 

Events

  • IAPP will hold IAPP Canada Symposium 2026 in Toronto from 4 to 7 May 2026. The event focuses on privacy, AI governance and cybersecurity law from Canadian and global perspectives.
