What AI regulation coverage tracks

AI rules are arriving from several directions simultaneously: legislatures, sector regulators, competition and privacy authorities, courts, and standards bodies. This section follows those changes and, where the source documents make it clear, what each one obliges organisations to do and by when.

Coverage is compiled from primary material — official texts, regulator statements, filings and rulings — and grouped into ongoing Developments, so a proposal, its consultation, and its final form remain part of one continuing story.

What you'll find in this section

  • New and amended AI laws, rules, and implementing acts
  • Enforcement actions, investigations, and penalties
  • Court decisions on copyright, liability, privacy, and competition
  • Standards, codes of practice, and government procurement conditions

Is it legal to train AI models on copyrighted books? It’s complicated

Legal and ethical questions surrounding the use of copyrighted literature to train generative AI models remain unresolved. AI developers have routinely used large corpora of scraped and digitized books without explicit licensing or author consent. While creators argue this practice infringes on intellectual property rights and disrupts publishing livelihoods, technology companies often cite fair use doctrines to defend training practices across the AI industry.
