The RealReal, a secondhand luxury fashion consignment retailer, said it's updating its bot defense system, effectively making it harder for AI agents to shop on its site. The change comes days after The Verge reported that an AI agent could be used to take advantage of The RealReal's item reserve system. On the retailer's website, an item goes "on hold" and is unavailable for other customers to buy for 20 minutes once it's placed in a user's shopping cart. Using Meta's Muse, The Verge was able t

Anthropic has finally filed its S-1 prospectus with the SEC, a document designed to give investors a look under the hood of its business, from how much its executives are making and plans for spending its IPO billions to the risks that could derail its ambitions. At more than 300 pages, there's a lot to unpack, and some of the disclosures have not previously been reported. Here are some of the biggest things that jumped out to us from our first pass: It pays to be an Amodei Sibling co-founders D
Now that agents are writing so much code, Entire is trying to reinvent the coding platform itself.
Anthropic’s S-1 shows more than half of its $100,000-plus customers now use both the Claude Platform and a first-party app, a cross-selling playbook reminiscent of Amazon that’s making enterprise customers stickier.

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to up to 60,000 employees across the US, UK, Canada, and India. In a message to employees, Microsoft chief people officer Amy Coleman writes that this gives staff members "the opportunity to leave Microsoft with financial support and career planning resources" as the company looks to trim staff without another round of layoffs.

A computer running COBOL 73, an antiquated computer programming language, awaits taxpayer information entries at the Internal Revenue Service in Austin, Tx., on Friday, June 10, 2022. | Image: Getty Images What do the IRS, banks, airlines, and government infrastructure around the world have in common? They're all running on systems propped up by antique computer code that nobody dares touch, lest everything come crashing down. OpenAI thinks it may have a solution. On Monday, the company touted
Jayden, Sam, and Zack are eagerly pitching editors on reported stories and investigative features. The catch? They're all AI agents.
Consider what passes for success in technology policy. An AI company promises that its chatbot will not encourage suicide. A social media platform makes it more difficult for children to buy fentanyl. These are important protections, and they should have existed all along. But companies can clear these low bars while continuing to make products…
AI governance is the set of rules, policies, and frameworks that ensure artificial intelligence is developed and used responsibly. It covers ethical guidelines, compliance standards, and oversight mechanisms to keep AI safe, fair, and accountable.
The EU AI Act requires businesses to classify their AI systems by risk level and meet specific obligations. High-risk systems need conformity assessments, technical documentation, and human oversight. Non-compliance can result in fines up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover.
The NIST AI RMF is a voluntary U.S. framework that helps organizations identify, assess, and mitigate AI-related risks. It is built around four core functions: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage.
AI compliance is critical because governments worldwide are actively enforcing AI regulations. The EU AI Act carries heavy fines, the U.S. has expanded federal AI oversight, and countries like Canada, Brazil, and China have enacted AI-specific laws. Non-compliance risks penalties, reputational harm, and operational disruption.
The key AI ethics principles are fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, safety, human oversight, and inclusiveness. These principles are reflected in major frameworks including the OECD AI Principles and the EU Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI.
Organizations implement AI risk management by creating governance structures, running impact assessments, testing for bias, monitoring model performance, and documenting decisions. The NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 provide standardized approaches for this process.
Major AI regulations include the EU AI Act, U.S. Executive Orders on AI Safety, Canada's AIDA, South Korea's AI Basic Act, China's Generative AI rules, Brazil's AI framework, and Japan's AI guidelines. Over 60 countries have enacted or proposed AI-specific regulations.
An AI impact assessment is a structured evaluation of how an AI system may affect individuals and society. It examines risks such as bias, privacy violations, and safety concerns. The EU AI Act requires mandatory impact assessments for all high-risk AI systems.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for AI management systems. It provides a certification framework that helps organizations establish, implement, and improve their AI governance practices in a structured and auditable way.
The AI Bill of Rights is a White House blueprint outlining five principles to protect Americans from AI harms: safe and effective systems, freedom from algorithmic discrimination, data privacy, notice and explanation, and human alternatives and fallback options.
AI Governance Watch aggregates news from over 21 trusted sources including MIT Technology Review, TechCrunch, and The Verge. Articles are automatically categorized into topics like regulation, policy, ethics, compliance, and enforcement to help professionals track AI governance developments.
Algorithmic bias occurs when an AI system produces systematically unfair outcomes due to flawed data or design assumptions. It can lead to discrimination based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics. Detecting and mitigating bias is a core requirement of most AI governance frameworks.
The key AI governance frameworks are the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, OECD AI Principles, ISO/IEC 42001, the AI Bill of Rights, and Canada's AIDA. These frameworks set rules for AI risk management, compliance, and ethical use.
| Framework | Region | Status | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU AI Act | European Union | In Force | Risk-based AI regulation with tiered requirements |
| NIST AI RMF | United States | Active | Voluntary risk management framework (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) |
| OECD AI Principles | International | Active | International guidelines for trustworthy AI |
| ISO/IEC 42001 | International | Published | AI management system certification standard |
| AI Bill of Rights | United States | Published | Blueprint for protecting civil rights in AI era |
| Canada AIDA | Canada | In Progress | Artificial Intelligence and Data Act |
According to Stanford HAI's AI Index Report, over 60 countries have enacted or proposed AI-specific regulations as of 2026. The trend is toward mandatory compliance requirements rather than voluntary guidelines.

"AI technologies can provide substantial benefits, but also pose risks. A responsible approach to AI requires both innovation and guardrails."
"AI actors should respect the rule of law, human rights, democratic values, and diversity, and should implement appropriate safeguards to ensure a fair and just society."
"Among the great challenges posed to democracy today is the use of technology, data, and automated systems in ways that threaten the rights of the American public."
"Artificial intelligence should be a tool for people and be a force for good in society, with the ultimate aim of increasing human well-being."
"The number of AI-related regulations has increased sharply in recent years. In 2023 alone, there were 25 AI-related regulations enacted in the U.S., a significant increase from just one in 2016."
"AI systems must not be used for social scoring or mass surveillance purposes. Member States should ensure that AI systems do not undermine human dignity."
