Commission starts enforcing AI Act rules and new transparency requirements on 2 August

The European Commission, via its AI Office and national member-state authorities, will begin active enforcement of the EU AI Act and its transparency mandates on 2 August 2026. Under the incoming rules, providers and deployers of interactive AI systems, such as chatbots, must explicitly disclose to users that they are interacting with artificial intelligence. The regulation also requires clear labeling and disclosure when content has been synthetically generated or altered by AI systems.

Open source project fools AI scrapers with poisoned font

ShieldFont, a new open-source project, has been released to protect written web content from unauthorized AI scraping bots through adversarial font poisoning. The technique alters font mapping or glyph rendering, allowing human readers to view standard text normally while automated scrapers and web crawlers extract corrupted, unreadable, or misleading data. The utility is available as an open-source tool for publishers and content owners seeking technical mechanisms to prevent automated ingestion of their text.

Echoverse: Deep, evolving environments for computer-use agents

Microsoft Research has introduced Echoverse, an environment framework designed to train and evaluate computer-use artificial intelligence agents across complex multi-step workflows. Current agent architectures often fail in dynamic applications such as customer support and email management. Instead of merely expanding static training datasets or task lists, Echoverse deploys agents inside realistic, evolving software environments where tasks, state transitions, and evaluation criteria adapt continuously to improve autonomous execution capabilities.

EU launches AI Gigafactories call to boost Europe's computing capacity and unlock more than €30 billion in investment

The European Union has officially opened a call for tenders to establish up to seven AI Gigafactories across Europe. Backed by up to €10 billion in combined EU and national public funding, the initiative is structured to stimulate at least €20 billion in private investment, bringing total anticipated capital deployment to over €30 billion. The program aims to substantially scale domestic AI supercomputing infrastructure, expand enterprise compute access, and support Europe's strategic technological sovereignty goals.

Microsoft's cloud brings rain of revenue but modest M365 AI revenue harvest

Financial reporting on Microsoft's quarterly earnings indicates strong overall cloud revenue alongside elevated capital expenditure dedicated to artificial intelligence infrastructure. However, enterprise adoption and direct revenue contribution from Microsoft 365 AI capabilities, including Copilot features, showed comparatively modest growth. The figures illustrate an ongoing divergence between the substantial capital investments required to scale AI infrastructure and the current pace of recurring enterprise software AI monetization.
