The EU's attempt to soften its AI regulation broke down. After 12 hours, member-state interests blocked consensus. The debate centres on the obligation balance between frontier-model providers and smaller developers.

The EU is working on comprehensive rules for the ethical and safe use of AI. Different sectoral interests across member states (automotive-heavy Germany, finance-heavy Luxembourg, consumer-rights-focused France) make consensus hard.
AI-Generated Images Banned in Official Correspondence
The EU Commission, Council and Parliament have banned AI-generated images in their staff's official correspondence. The decision is grounded in concerns over authenticity and the hallucination risk in institutional communication.
Regulatory Work in Türkiye
Türkiye's parliamentary AI research commission chair Fatih Dönmez emphasises the need for legal frameworks for AI use in the country. The commission is continuing its consultation process with sectoral stakeholders.
