Policy experts have voiced concerns over proposed AI copyright regulations in the UK, arguing that a lack of comprehensive text and data mining exemptions could lead to lower-quality AI models and stifle innovation. They suggest that prohibiting companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta from using copyrighted material to train AI in the UK could result in biased model outputs, diminishing their effectiveness. The UK government launched a consultation in December 2024 to explore how to protect creators while allowing the use of creative content in AI model training.

Meta recently announced it will resume training its AI models using publicly available content from European users. This decision follows a pause last year due to data privacy concerns. Meta stated that this AI training will primarily rely on publicly shared posts and comments from adult users across the 27 EU countries. Furthermore, interactions between users and Meta AI, such as questions and queries, will also be used to train and improve its AI models.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration of Radio and Television have jointly formulated the "Regulations on Identifying AI-Generated Synthetic Content." This new regulation aims to address societal issues stemming from the proliferation of AI-generated content, particularly the spread of misinformation affecting public rights and interests. The regulations mandate prominent labeling of all AI-generated synthetic content, including text, audio, images, and videos. This measure will effectively protect citizens, legal persons, and other organizations.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, AI tools have become increasingly popular among college students for completing reports and essays. According to CCTV News, some university teachers and experts have reported cases of academic misconduct, including fabricating research data, editing experimental images, and substituting original designs. A notice in a university assignment group drew widespread attention, stating that students submitting AI-generated essays would receive a failing grade.

At the recent AI Action Summit held at the Grand Palais in Paris, Stanford researcher and founder of AI4Science, Fei-Fei Li, delivered the opening speech. Her address garnered widespread attention, addressing the regulation of artificial intelligence, commercial ecosystems, and its far-reaching societal impacts. Li emphasized that the future of AI should be built on a scientific foundation rather than exaggerated sci-fi narratives. She called on nations to invest in a healthier and more diverse AI ecosystem, asserting that the academic community and the public play a crucial role in this process.

The construction of data centers in the UK is undergoing a significant transformation. A recent survey of 3,000 executives in the data center industry shows that they generally believe the current planning approval process is overly complicated, severely limiting the development of data centers. The consulting firm Business Critical Solutions (BCS) in its report 'Powering the Future' mentioned that the UK government plans to categorize the development of large data centers as 'National Significant Infrastructure Projects' (NSIPs), meaning it will be handled by the central government.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, deepfake content has gradually attracted widespread social attention. To address this emerging issue, California has introduced a series of new laws and regulations at the beginning of the new year, aimed at strengthening the regulation of deepfake content generated by artificial intelligence. These laws will affect social media platforms, content creators, and related industries, marking the entry of AI technology application regulation into a new phase.

With Trump's election as President of the United States, his administration is expected to attempt to ease regulations on self-driving cars, a news that caused Tesla's stock price to rise by over 5% on Monday. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has been actively promoting the launch of its 'Robot Taxi' service, aimed at competing with rivals like Waymo, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet. The market is optimistic about the Trump administration's intentions to lower the regulatory barriers for self-driving cars, resulting in excited investors buying Tesla shares.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) introduced new requirements in the field of corporate compliance, particularly concerning the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As more businesses begin to leverage AI technology, this new regulation undoubtedly adds extra pressure on compliance officers. Companies now need to carefully consider the legal risks associated with AI, or else they may face hefty fines.

Recently, a spokesperson for Meta stated that the company will not immediately join the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Convention. This convention serves as a temporary measure to help businesses prepare for the upcoming regulations before the full implementation of the EU's AI Act. It is worth mentioning that this AI Act was approved by EU legislators in May of this year and is the world's first regulation specifically targeting the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. Under this act, companies will be required to provide a summary of the data used to train their AI models.

Recently, the US Department of Commerce released a proposal requiring artificial intelligence (AI) companies to provide detailed reports, aimed at stricter regulation of this rapidly evolving technological field. The notice, titled 'Proposed Rules,' was published on September 9, with the intention of ensuring the safety, reliability of AI technology, and preventing potential misuse by foreign adversaries or non-state actors.

The US Department of Commerce has proposed reporting requirements for companies developing cutting-edge AI models and firms providing infrastructure, in response to the Biden administration's executive order on 'safe, reliable, and trustworthy artificial intelligence development and usage.' Key elements of the new regulations include: AI models with over 10^26 integer or floating-point operations must report, with the threshold for biological sequence data models set at 10^23; there is a requirement to disclose model capabilities, information security protections, and red team testing results to ensure AI technologies meet safety standards, protecting against cyberattacks and misuse by non-state actors.

California has passed new legislation AB1836, which requires explicit consent from the estates of deceased performers before creating AI replicas for various digital representations in films, television, and games. The law aims to enhance the protection of performers' rights in the era of artificial intelligence. The SAG-AFTRA union has expressed its support and is collaborating with AI companies Narrativ and ElevenLabs to establish a platform that allows actors to license their voice AI clones, ensuring control over how and where their likeness is used. This initiative will not only impact Hollywood.

Zuckerberg and Ek jointly criticized the EU AI regulations, arguing that these complex rules hinder the development of open source AI in Europe and limit innovation and developer vitality. They called for simplification and unification of regulations, emphasizing that open source AI creates a fair competitive environment. Europe should leverage its single diverse market advantage to avoid missing out on technological development opportunities. Although the EU legislation exempts open source AI, the conditions limit its potential, and the transparency requirements for datasets have little impact on open source AI. Zuckerberg also stated that he is willing to release a value of 10 if it is safe and beneficial to the public.
