EU seeks global recognition of digital regulations

The EU is seeking recognition of the bloc's digital regulations globally via the United Nation’s Global Digital Compact, Euractiv reports. The U.N. initiative aims to establish shared digital principles on a global scale. In a submission to the digital compact, a Council of the European Union technical group touted the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act as worthy of global use, characterizing them as "new standard-setting rules that aim to create a safer and more trustworthy online space for users and consumers."
