Meta says Muse was built from the ground up for privacy, and OpenAI wants Dots to set a new standard for privacy in frontier AI. We test those AI agent privacy promises against each company’s own documentation, Instinct’s revised terms, a month of Muse incidents and the UK ICO’s new scrutiny of AI agents, and set out what businesses should check before connecting an agent to their data.
Amazon says it no longer signs nondisclosure agreements with the government agencies it works with on data centers, and has pledged more than $1 billion over five years through Built Together. We set out the timeline from Microsoft’s March pledge to Jamie Raskin’s letters, the four gaps in Amazon’s wording (contractors, shell companies, old agreements, private parties), how its water, power and pollution claims hold up, and why AI agents asking for your credit card face the same trust problem.
USA TODAY Co., formerly Gannett, and 13 affiliates have sued OpenAI in Manhattan federal court for more than $250 million, saying 19 of their newspapers were copied into ChatGPT’s training data and repackaged in GPT-5.6 summaries. We read the 79-page complaint: the WebText and C4 counts, the three claims, how the damages add up, the internal OpenAI quotes, how it fits the wider publisher fight, and what it means for businesses using AI.
Claude users are seeing a new prompt asking them to let Anthropic train its AI models on their voice recordings. The setting is off by default and separate from the chat-training switch, but Anthropic’s own privacy pages still say it does not train on voice. We set out what the prompt says, how it compares with the 2025 chat change, OpenAI, Google, Meta and Amazon, the Illinois biometric lawsuit, and what businesses should do.
A federal judge has dismissed Chegg’s and Penske Media’s antitrust lawsuits over Google’s AI Overviews, ruling that publishers’ expectation of search traffic is not an agreement. We explain each claim the court rejected, the reactions, what happens next and what the AI Overviews antitrust ruling means for websites that depend on Google.
Arceus, a San Francisco law firm that pairs licensed attorneys with AI agents, has raised funding led by Greycroft, bringing its total to $17 million. Startups send contracts from Slack, an agent prepares the review and a lawyer signs it off at a flat fee. We explain how it works, what it costs, how it compares with Crosby and other AI-native firms, and what UK companies should check.
A Tokyo court has ruled for the first time that a person’s voice can be protected by publicity rights, in voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda’s case against TikTok over AI-narrated videos. We read the nine-page judgment: the test it borrowed from the Pink Lady case, why Tsuda still lost, the questions it leaves open, how other countries compare, and what brands and platforms should do.
California has become the first US state to ban employers from relying solely on AI to fire or discipline workers. We read the signed text of SB 947 section by section, compare it with the version Newsom vetoed in 2025, and set out who is covered, the penalties and a compliance checklist for employers.
Japanese anime voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda, known for Jujutsu Kaisen and Yu-Gi-Oh!, has taken TikTok to court over videos he says used AI voice cloning to copy his voice, with the Tokyo District Court due to rule on 30 September 2026. This article sets out the timeline, the account’s reported earnings, TikTok’s “generic male voice” defence, Japan’s publicity-rights and unfair competition tests, the justice ministry’s August guideline, the likely outcomes and how other countries treat cloned voices.
OpenAI told a federal court in Texas on 22 September 2026 that Apple’s integration of ChatGPT into Siri was “dramatically underperforming” by the summer of 2025 and “persistently underperforming” by March 2026, consistent with its internal view that Apple Intelligence saw minimal usage. The admission sits in OpenAI’s summary judgment brief in the antitrust case brought by Elon Musk’s X Corp. and SpaceXAI. This article covers what the 59-page filing says, what its redactions hide, why the opt-in integration struggled, how Gemini, Anthropic and xAI grew regardless, and what comes next for the case and for ChatGPT inside Apple’s new Siri AI.
