This week, the EU postponed its core AI rules by sixteen months, pushing them into 2027. But while regulators slowed down, technology accelerated. At the same time, Microsoft and Google introduced tools that let anyone build autonomous agents, automate workflows, and create apps through simple conversation. Hyper-automation moved into the mainstream. Regulation fell even further behind. And enterprises now face a widening governance gap they will have to close themselves.

Top stories this week:

1. EU delays high-risk AI rules to 2027–2028, leaving a long regulatory gap.
2. Microsoft and Google push no-code agents mainstream, letting anyone build automations.
3. Hyper-automation accelerates, with agents now able to write and validate their own code.
4. Enterprise adoption spikes: 99% of developers build agents; 40% of big firms deploy them this year.
5. Governance falls behind, forcing companies to build their own internal AI controls.
