This week brought major changes for creative industries dealing with AI. In the United States, a new copyright report said using scraped data for AI training might break fair use rules, especially for money-making apps. At the same time, President Trump fired the head of the Copyright Office, making people worry about political meddling in tech laws.

Over in the United Kingdom, music makers fought against a new AI bill that could let companies use copyrighted songs without paying. Lawmakers want AI firms to show how they use artists' work, but the government keeps saying no to these rules.

Big tech companies rolled out new AI tools this week. Google launched Gemini 2.5, an AI helper that works like a smart assistant, and added AI Mode to search for better question-answering. Microsoft said use of its AI agents (robot helpers that work alone) doubled, with tools like GitHub Copilot now writing code without human help.

These changes create tough choices - should AI get special freedom to use creative works, or should artists keep control? The fight between tech growth and creator rights is heating up worldwide.
