On February a California appellate court issued a decisive ruling in favor of the California Privacy Protection Agency (the Agency), allowing the state to immediately begin enforcement of its new regulations, effectively overturning a prior decision that had delayed the enforcement of regulations created under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) until March 29, 2024.

Five years after the EU introduced a mammoth data privacy law to rein in big tech, Ireland's watchdog is its chief enforcer. Critics say this helps explain why the regulation is failing. Dublin is at the centre of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regime because the city hosts the European headquarters of the likes of Google, Meta, Twitter and TikTok.

It might have taken six weeks to decide the shape of New Zealand's next government (or three if you count from the final results), but in the end that is the nature of proportional representation. Compromise, trade-offs and haggling are the price of an MMP electoral system designed to avoid single-party rule.

While the recent developments of the White House executive order and the EU AI Act are a good start, there's a lot of progress to be made in terms of AI research and rule-making. Because if we want to unlock the full range of AI use cases, we're going to need precise regulation, tailored to the unique needs of each sector.
