Laws, executive orders, regulators and courts: the rules that shape artificial intelligence, reported as facts with every side quoted.
A June executive order lets US national security agencies test the most capable AI models for up to 30 days before release, on a voluntary basis. Ten days later, export controls took Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline worldwide. What each side said, how access came back, and what it means for users outside the United States.
Since 2 August 2026, chatbots in the EU must say they are AI and generated media must carry machine readable marks. The Digital Omnibus pushed the heavier high risk rules to December 2027 and August 2028 and added a ban on nudifier apps. What applies now, and a checklist.
Washington now says "Super Intelligence" where it used to say artificial intelligence. The abbreviation happens to be Slovenia's internet country code, and the national registry now logs more new .si domains in a day than it used to see in a month.
On 31 July 2026 a Munich court found that Suno copied six songs from GEMA's repertoire, kept them in its models and played them back to users. Commentators called the decision Europe's first AI music copyright ruling, and it reaches training that Suno did in the United States.
At WWDC on 8 June 2026 Apple unveiled Siri AI, an assistant that reads personal context across apps and runs on Apple Foundation Models built with Google's Gemini. The same day Apple said EU iPhone and iPad owners would not get it at launch, blaming the DMA; Brussels said the choice was Apple's.
