The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) released the first formal EU supervisory guidance focusing on agentic AI architecture under GDPR, introducing a 'Rule of 2' risk framework that limits the combination of autonomy, data access, and input processing without safeguards. This shifts regulatory focus from AI outputs to the internal design and data protection compliance of autonomous AI systems within Europe.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must build agentic AI systems with clear architectural safeguards now to meet Europe's data protection rules. This guidance opens a regulatory door, making internal AI design a compliance frontline rather than just the output.
