This week, the AI industry faces a monumental pressure test. We break down the biggest stories that are reshaping the landscape:

• The Copyright Wars: Anthropic settles a $1.5B lawsuit over “pirated” books, and Warner Bros. sues Midjourney. Is this a victory for creators or just the cost of doing business?

• The Safety Firestorm: Over 20 State AGs warn OpenAI about child safety, and a new study links smartphones under 13 to mental health harms. Are regulators finally catching up?

• The Open-Source Counter-Offensive: New releases from Hugging Face, and Alibaba are democratizing powerful AI, challenging the closed models of giants.

• Industry Intel: Key hires at OpenAI, a cautionary tale from a battery startup’s failure, and the new tools developers can use right now.

Join host Sébastien Deschamps on Byte Of Truth for a deep dive into the ethics, policies, and technologies that matter.
