The figures are fresh off the press: the European Commission published its Fifth Annual Report on the screening of foreign direct investments (“FDI”) into the European Union (“EU”) just a few days ago.[1] Like the previous editions, the Fifth Annual Report offers a statistical overview of the EU FDI framework’s activities in the previous year (2024 for the Fifth Annual Report). Based on submissions from all 27 Member States, the report surveys both the performance of Member States’s national screening regimes and the functioning of the EU cooperation process for FDI.

Or the agent chatbot — which sits in a side panel — can make changes to documents in Google Docs based on user requests. (Google Docs already has a prompting feature to automate document changes.)
Critics were quick to point out that Atlas is vulnerable to prompt hijacking, where malicious prompts embedded in webpages could lead to data theft.
