AI is splitting into two stories at once: faster model releases, stricter rules, and bigger bets on what comes next. Here are the latest signals worth watching 👇
🧵 1/6
EU AI Act update: it’s the first comprehensive legal framework on AI, with bans and AI literacy rules in force from 2 Feb 2025, GPAI rules from 2 Aug 2025, and full application on 2 Aug 2026. According to europa, the clock is already ticking.
