The last 12 months have seen an extraordinary shift in the European Commission’s approach to digital regulation. In the policy shift, one of the major forces shaping the European Commission’s agenda may be described as AI FOMO (“fear of missing out”). The primary focus of this post is the proposed legislative reforms and their manifestation in deregulatory strategies. This post charts how such an agenda is driving Commission policy and highlights how AI FOMO is driving deregulation in EU digital law.
