Situational Awareness, Star AI Hedge Fund That Nearly Imploded, Now Being Probed by the SEC

Situational Awareness was the best-performing large fund in the world in June 2026, up 439% net, and by the end of July it had been forced to sell its entire public equity book to Citadel in a single pre-market block. The Securities and Exchange Commission has now subpoenaed Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America for records of the fund’s trades, its borrowing and its conversations with lenders. This breakdown walks through what the regulator has asked for, how four times leverage turned a sector correction into a forced liquidation, what the fund actually owned, why Citadel bought the book at a reported ten per cent discount, why the headline figures in different outlets do not match, and what a business buying AI compute should take from the whole episode.

Eight days after Twitch switched on AI training by default, a Connecticut streamer filed a class action against Twitch and Amazon in the Northern District of California.

This article breaks the case down in plain language: the four legal claims and why copyright is deliberately missing, Mike Minton’s “nobody would opt in” admission, the same-day terms change, the market price of licensed training data, how the case compares with Bartz, Kadrey and NYT v. OpenAI, and the lessons for any business repurposing user content for AI.

This guide walks through the $1.5 billion Anthropic settlement and its 91% claim rate, the fair use four-factor test, the scoreboard of rulings from Bartz v. Anthropic to Kadrey v. Meta and Thomson Reuters v. Ross, why the UK’s March 2026 report kept the status quo after Getty’s hollow High Court win, what the US Copyright Office’s Part 3 report concluded before its author was fired and reinstated, and the practical questions every business using or building AI should be asking about indemnities, provenance and output ownership.

New EU Laws Make AI Content Labels Compulsory — But They Might Just Make Deepfakes Harder to Spot

  • August 17, 2026
  • AI News
  • Comment off

AI content label rules became legally binding across the European Union on 2 August 2026, and the first fortnight of enforcement has already surfaced an uncomfortable possibility. AI content labels may make deepfakes harder to spot rather than easier. That is not an argument against transparency, and it is certainly not an argument for doing […]

Cyber Resilience Act UK: Does It Apply? Essential Risk Guide

Does the EU Cyber Resilience Act apply to UK companies after Brexit?
