A judge denied a motion to dismiss from web scraper SerpApi in a case where Reddit alleges it conspired with Perplexity AI to illegally scrape copyrighted Reddit content from Google search results. The judge found Reddit had plausibly shown a conspiracy existed, with SerpApi providing tools to circumvent Google access controls that Perplexity paid for. The ruling keeps Reddit's unusual DMCA claim alive despite a separate court recently dismissing a similar case brought by Google itself.

US lawmakers introduced two bills to regulate AI development: the FRONTIER Act, which establishes federal oversight of frontier AI models through Commerce Department authority with testing and incident reporting requirements, and the AI Kill Switch Act, which requires large AI companies to be able to shut down model inference during crises. The Kill Switch Act sets maximum fines of $20 million per day for non-compliance and applies only to covered entities above certain revenue thresholds, while explicitly exempting open-weight models from shutdown requirements. These legislative efforts represent attempts to balance catastrophic risk management with open-source development, though enforcement mechanisms and definitional thresholds remain contested among policymakers, industry, and advocates.
Thierry Rignol sued Yale University after being suspended for a year and failing a course when his exam answers were flagged by GPTZero as possibly AI-generated; he claims the detection tool is unreliable and biased against non-native English speakers, and that Yale's disciplinary process violated his rights. The Honor Committee found him liable for "not being forthcoming" after he delayed weeks before disclosing he used Apple Pages rather than Microsoft Word to write his exam, only providing the file on the day of his hearing. Rignol's federal lawsuit now contains 13 causes of action and has generated 125 docket entries since February 2025, with a judge warning against further amendments and Yale pushing for dismissal.
