Before Launch Day: Why AI Regulation Must Begin at Design
Regulatory engagement can occur very late in the AI development cycle. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) reports that most of its AI supervision engagements with companies have taken place shortly before the anticipated launch. At the same time, the report states that 95 per cent of AI engagements were able to launch without delay due to DPC engagement. By that stage, choices about data, purpose and performance may already have shaped the risks of the system.
Self-Regulation Under Scrutiny
On 29 September 2026, six of the world's biggest AI companies signed a voluntary safety agreement at the White House. There is no regulator attached to it, no deadline, and no penalty for breaking it. Two AI³ contributors looked at what that agreement actually commits anyone to do. One reads it against existing law, built to carry duties that bind nobody. The other traces what happens when a promise has no one checking it. Both pieces ask the same question in a different register: who is actually watching, and what happens if nobody is?

OpenAI called for mandatory safety rules for the most powerful AI systems. The EU brought ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox under stronger Digital Services Act oversight. OpenAI and Anthropic both released new, cheaper frontier models. Meta went all-in on its Muse AI agent and new consumer AI devices. SoftBank raised $11.1 billion in bonds to help fund its OpenAI investment.
Who is responsible when AI goes wrong?
In 2020, iTutorGroup's hiring software quietly rejected job applicants for being too old, a case later resolved under US age discrimination law, not the EU AI Act. A year earlier, a widely used healthcare algorithm developed by Optum and used by hospitals and insurers was found to identify fewer Black patients for additional care than similarly sick white patients. In both cases, the hard question wasn't whether something had gone wrong. It was who had to answer for it.

South Australia will hold a public inquiry into how the state should govern and use AI. Singapore said organisations stay accountable for AI systems that act on their own. Anthropic and Amazon locked in huge new supplies of computing power for AI. Salesforce moved its customer database into Claude, so sellers may never open its own app. Anthropic researchers found AI agents sharing a system can collude and attack each other.
Our submission to Cyprus's National AI Strategy 2032
In August 2026, AI³ submitted a formal response to the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy on the draft National AI Strategy of the Republic of Cyprus 2032, through the government's e-Consultation platform.
