The first wave of compliance deadlines for high-risk AI systems lands this month. Here is what Cypriot organisations need to know.
Anthropic's 2028 China-race policy paper, Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical on AI, Malta's free ChatGPT Plus rollout, and the Google I/O 2026 preview.

BINA Cyinnovation Hub was founded to bring AI literacy to communities the technology might otherwise leave behind — older adults, young people, people with disabilities, and underserved communities across Cyprus and the wider eastern Mediterranean. We publish daily briefs, run workshops, and visit homes and schools.
Read the vision in full →Programs for older adults, young people, people with disabilities, and underserved communities — at the hub, at school, at home.

Patient, jargon-free workshops at the hub — and at home — for adults 60 and over who want to understand and use AI tools confidently.

Half-day workshops we bring into Cypriot schools. Hands-on, age-appropriate, with strong attention to misuse and well-being.

Home visits and one-on-one sessions for people whose access to technology is mediated by disability, mobility, or care arrangements.

We meet communities where they are — village halls, community centres, places of worship — in their language, on their schedule.
Every brief is published in Hebrew, Greek, English and Russian.
