The Monday Signal

What last week meant for data governance, what we expect next — and a check on earlier predictions, ours and others’. Opinion, clearly labelled, from a practitioner. Tracked on the prediction tracker.

  1. The consent flag that lied: GM, Fnac and the gap between records and reality

    This week's enforcement shows regulators judging what data actually does rather than what consent records, app screens and inventories say it does.

  2. Agent incidents become a compliance question

    The EU AI Office's first information requests, and bank supervisors' questions on AI agents, show governance artefacts for agents moving from good practice to evidence that regulators ask for.
