Welcome to This Week in AI Regulations for February 09, 2026.
We begin with institutional updates from the European Board for Digital Services, which recently held its 17th meeting marking two years of active oversight on digital services and AI chatbot enforcement.
The EU’s financial supervisory authorities—EBA, ESMA, and EIOPA—jointly published informational sheets to help consumers detect and protect themselves from AI-driven online financial fraud, especially in crypto.

On the global stage, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) introduced five key 2026 publications focusing on safety culture leadership, AI application in medical devices, and updated regulations for radioactive material transport.
Additionally, Germany and Saudi Arabia signed a Memorandum of Understanding to deepen cooperation on energy policy, including carbon management, energy efficiency, digital transformation, cybersecurity, and AI.
