Super interesting. Do you have more exmples of such national initiatives that are DMA-like?

If you are in town, I will head out for a morning run 🏃 on Monday and Tuesday. Feel free to join; my DMs are open.

These tools give agencies a concrete policy direction by revealing mechanisms that stay hidden in static analysis. I plan a few other fun activities with the Authority during my stay.

Professors should have full freedom to experiment with AI (or not!), evaluate what works, and, hopefully, share evidence with others. In short, we should be scientific in the classroom. Let’s not follow the World Controllers. www.networklawreview.org/world-contro...

I share this with utmost humility. The topic is large and I am sure the paper has blind spots. But I hope it offers a useful step for anyone interested in the future of EU digital regulation. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Adaptive Regulation
What is adaptive regulation? Why does it matter? How can it be measured, and how can regulation be made more adaptive? I answer each of these four questions.

➝ I expanded the design principles with more concrete institutional proposals, with examples across the DMA, DSA, AI Act, etc.
➝ I added a new section on ex ante regulatory regimes and the way they suppress institutional memory, along with options to rebuild it through adaptive design.
November 20, 2025 at 1:20 PM
➝ I included a clearer explanation of the counterfactual problem, especially the difficulty of adapting rules when the main effects concern innovation that never materializes.
November 20, 2025 at 1:20 PM
This new version includes several additions that I hope strengthen the argument.
➝ I added a proportionality analysis showing how adaptive regulation aligns with existing EU legal principles and case law.

➝ Second, I propose a framework for future-responsive regulation rooted in #complexityscience. It focuses on modular architecture, distributed sensing, pluralistic triggering, and networked institutional memory as practical design principles.
November 20, 2025 at 1:20 PM
The paper has two core parts.
➝ First, I provide an empirical look at the eight major EU Digital Acts (DMA, DSA, AI Act, Data Act...). I map which Acts embed monitoring tools, triggering mechanisms, and revision channels, and which ones still lack the structures needed for genuine adaptiveness.

What this article says: Macron-aligned lawmakers have introduced a bill that would ban social media for those under 15. The text also proposes a digital curfew for 15- to 18-year-olds from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., along with a ban on smartphones in high schools. www.lemonde.fr/pixels/artic...
Les députés macronistes déposent une proposition de loi pour interdire les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans
Le texte propose également d’établir un couvre-feu numérique pour les 15-18 ans de 22 heures à 8 heures, ainsi que l’interdiction des smartphones dans les lycées. Il reprend les préconisations de la c...
