The Impact of the New European Commission’s Digital Policy on Transatlantic Businesses”

The European AI Act was adopted on August 1, 2024, and although the new AI supervisory authority is still under construction, there is already additional digital regulation appearing at the horizon: The European Data Act will apply in September 2025, regulating the entire Internet of Things Industry and aiming to further enhance Europe’s data economy. What impact will this very complex regulatory framework have on transatlantic businesses and what can we expect from the new European Commission, which will begin its work in December 2024?
