Thank you.

Hello and welcome back to the Pinsent Masons podcast, where we keep you up to date with the very latest in global business law every second Tuesday.

I'm Matthew Magee.

I'm a journalist here at Pinsent Masons.

And this week, we've got a bit of an EU special where we look at two sets of ambitious plans that could help to reshape the economy and society.

We look at plans to keep kids safe online and proposals to help the EU direct funds and business towards companies based there.

So we've had some serious cases of that.

So we've had Deloitte case, KPMG, EY, and Pinsent Masons.

Yeah.

All cases.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome after a bit of a seasonal break to the Pinsent Masons podcast, where we try to keep you abreast of the most important developments in global business law every second Tuesday.

I'm Matthew Magee, I'm a journalist here at Pinsent Masons, and this week we hear why English law may be ill-equipped to deal with agentic AI, and we track another high court ruling on the increasingly heavily used concept of force majeure.

But first, here's some business law news from our team around the world.

EU reviews jurisdiction rules amidst challenge from class action style claims.

The EU AI Act classifies most medical AI as high risk, layering stringent requirements for data quality, documentation, and human oversight on top of existing device rules while US regulators and the Federal Trade Commission, FTC, tighten expectations on safety and reproductive data privacy.

European Commission, twenty twenty-five, Pinsent Masons, twenty twenty-five, BCLP, twenty twenty-four.

So what? In twenty twenty-six, viable AI and FemTech will be narrow, explainable, and clinician-anchored, embedded in workflows like Maven or BabyScripts rather than generic chatbots making unregulated diagnostic claims.

Jones Day, twenty twenty-five.

twenty twenty-four, Kuk and Lanise twenty twenty-four.

Regulators are also clarifying the line between wellness and medical devices through IMDRF's SaMDev framework and national efforts like COFEPRIS's SaMDev working group in Mexico and ANVISA's alignment in Brazil, with the EU AI Act further locking in high-risk treatment for health AI.

Salud Digital twenty twenty-one, Compliance and Risks twenty twenty-four, European Commission twenty twenty-five, Pinsent Masons twenty twenty-five.

So what? Privacy by design and regulation ready are becoming front of deck value propositions.

That was Luke Tapp.

He's an employment lawyer and partner at Pinsent Masons based here in the UAE.

Many thanks for all your comments so far on the school run and how you think it's going.

is a complete gridlock.
