FAST Legal Update Member Bulletin – October 2026
As we move into the heart of spring 2026, this newsletter brings together a number of legal and regulatory developments, starting on the legislation front with a provisional agreement on the EU AI Act’s Digital Omnibus. We then cover a number of policy changes, including the Government’s announcement of a new Fundamental AI Research Lab, and new vulnerability monitoring service (VMS). We then dive into the NCSC’s new cross-domain architecture guidance. Finally, we turn to the courts, looking further at the decisions in Edozo v Valos and Emotional Perception AI Ltd v Comptroller-General of Patents.

In this bulletin will look back at this summer’s developments in the legal sphere. We’ll revisit the latest legislative updates in the UK, on (a) the Artificial Intelligence (Regulation) Bill and (b) the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. We also explore the recent Wikimedia judgment, various Codes of Practice published by the UK Government, and consider the consultation on enterprise connected devices. Finally, we consider the recent prevalence of cyber-attacks in the UK, along with the CMA’s accusations towards Microsoft and Amazon on cloud competition.
