The US backs Elon Musk in fight to overturn €120M EU fine.

Trump officials filed a motion to support X’s appeal, arguing the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcement overreached when levying the fine last December, and unfairly targets American tech platforms while threatening digital free speech and global market operations.

“The European Commission inappropriately attempted to expand its regulatory authority to reach American companies not present or operating within its jurisdiction.”

YouTuber Elliot Choy says an AI Kalshi ad stole one of his videos and changed his race.

Choy shared a screenshot of the ad on X that appears nearly identical to one of his videos, except the person in the ad is white. NPR’s Bobby Allyn reported in a separate post that the ad is real, adding, “A Kalshi rep says the ad is old and that they no longer use AI-generated ads.”

What’s going on with this Trump picture?

On Thursday, Trump posted a picture to Truth Social of himself with Chinese President Xi Jinping that doesn’t comport with Getty Images of the event. Why does Trump only have one glove? Why did the face of the woman in the background change? The answer could include anything from uprezzing to “zooming out” the camera to deliberately replacing faces with AI.

Why can’t we just keep rogue AIs off the internet?

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are reportedly planning their own AI safety organization.

According to The Information, the companies will call it the Standards Authority for Frontier AI, or SAFA, which could launch by early 2027. It would handle AI safety regulation tasks like “supporting third-party organizations that conduct testing of models before they’re deployed and laying out how AI developers should report safety and security incidents.”
