SCOTUS has delivered a blunt separation-of-powers ruling with immediate economic bite: the President cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as a backdoor tariff statute.
However politically tempting “emergency” framing may be, tariffs remain—constitutionally and statutorily—first and foremost a congressional instrument.
An Office/Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat bug caused draft and sent emails with confidential/sensitivity labels to be “incorrectly processed” and summarized by Copilot for weeks.
Despite organizations having DLP policies intended to prevent this. Microsoft said it began rolling out a fix in early February, while not disclosing how many customers were affected.
Cresti’s core claim is simple: if you can’t explain where data goes and who can access it, you cannot credibly claim governance.
Built-in “assistants” often route prompts, documents, or derived metadata to external services for processing. Even when vendors promise security, institutions still need auditability.
We will not regulate AI effectively by asking for nicer narratives. We will regulate it by demanding verifiable evidence and making governance executable.
If AI developers do not internalize that, the likely outcome is a cycle of incidents, legitimacy crises, enforcement spikes, and a political backlash that will hit even “good” deployments.
The President of the Paris court issued three judgments rejecting Cloudflare's claim that DNS/CDN/proxy blocking would be “technically impossible,” too costly, or inevitably “international”...
...and therefore disproportionate. A dispute between Canal+ and Cloudflare reads like a manual for how courts can treat “infrastructure layer” services when used to facilitate mass infringement.
The “AI revolution” will only deliver on its promise to these critical sectors if we acknowledge that the cheapest path to a response is often the most expensive path to an error.
Until systems are designed to prioritize “truth at any cost” over “efficiency at any price,” their role in high-stakes decision-making must remain strictly supervised by human experts.
The same structural and psychological forces that mandate human presence in the office are likely to serve as a bulwark against the total roboticization of society,
...as the desire for human social hierarchy, prestige, and the maintenance of a visible “entourage” remains a fundamental driver of those who control capital and decision-making.
A popular new model release makes dazzling output easy; users flood the internet with impressive fan-adjacent creations; rightsholders see their franchises reproduced at industrial scale;
Lawyers send letters; the AI companies respond with a mix of hurried safeguards, selective blocking, and carefully worded statements that reveal as much about incentives as they do about compliance.
Individuals in high-level leadership positions are frequently influenced by the same psychological mechanisms that fuel mass movements, leading to a staunch refusal to process sound evidence...
...or execute on expert advice. Any external criticism of their leader is interpreted as a direct assault on the individual’s own intelligence, judgment, and character.
AI changes what customers perceive as value. If the perceived value becomes “time-to-draft” and “time-to-decision,” the customer may accept higher error rates for many tasks...
...using premium sources only for escalation. In other words: publishers may still own the “source of truth,” while someone else owns the “place where truth is consumed.”
