The EU's regulatory framework for AI, anchored by the 2024 AI Act, which sets risk-based rules for developing and deploying AI systems.
Aleph Alpha published Kolibri, a 78B-parameter English and German mixture-of-experts model, under Apache 2.0 with about 3.46B parameters active per token. Teams that cannot send prompts to outside servers can host it themselves if they pay for the GPUs.

OpenAI will watermark ChatGPT and Codex text for EU users, but API customers worldwide get textGrain only if they switch it on from October 5. Teams building on the API now decide for themselves whether to mark output, while Anthropic applies Claude's watermark everywhere.

EU AI Act transparency rules require AI-generated or substantially altered images to be recognisable as artificial from 2 August 2026. For estate agencies, the label gets decided when an image is submitted and then has to follow the listing to every portal and ad.

Consumers buying financial products online or by phone can now ask for human intervention instead of a purely automated decision. The rule covers a narrow slice of contacts, yet it changes what a containment number is allowed to leave out.
