In response to pressure from the tech industry and increasing competitive challenges from the U.S. and China, the European Union has proposed significant changes to two of its key legal frameworks: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the AI Act. The revision introduces simpler rules for data processing, delays enforcement for “high-risk” AI systems, and eases restrictions on cookies.
U.S. lawmakers are considering reintroducing a moratorium on state AI regulations — this time by placing it inside the annual defense bill (NDAA), which is almost always passed. The moratorium aims to unify AI rules at the federal level and protect innovation, as many states have already enacted their own AI laws.
A new U.S. study shows that 13.1% of young people aged 12–21 use generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT or Google Gemini) for support when facing mental-health challenges. Particularly concerning is that among those who do use AI, 65.5% turn to it once a month or more, and 92.7% say the advice they receive is helpful.
