The day in brief

An EU Advocate General says Google Gemini may infringe press publishers’ rights when it reuses articles in answers under certain conditions 1. He distinguishes those answers from model training, which he says generally falls under the EU text-and-data-mining exception 1. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre judges it highly likely that AI-powered malware will have been used in a ransomware attack on UK critical national infrastructure between now and 2028, while stressing that its scenarios are plausible possibilities, not predictions 2.

MIT CSAIL researchers say GPT-6 Astra edited 0.016% of Qwen3.5-0.8B’s weights without gradient training 3. On MATH-500, the edited model scored 48.1%, up from 7.9%, in their evaluation 3. Anthropic’s amended IPO filing reports $895.4 billion in purchase and lease commitments, mostly tied to computing and infrastructure, with nearly half expected to be incurred by the end of 2030 4.

China plans to accelerate foundational AI legislation and develop safety and ethics standards across AI’s full life cycle, the National Development and Reform Commission says 6. Apple’s Developer Preview lets any developer connect app content and custom actions to Siri AI through App Intents 9.
