This weekly update covers important changes to data privacy and security rules around the world, especially related to artificial intelligence systems.

New York State in the United States passed a new law called the RAISE Act that makes AI companies tell the government about safety problems within 72 hours. California also settled with a gaming app company called Jam City because it was sharing people's information without asking them first. The company had to pay $1.4 million and now must let people say no to sharing their data.

Many state leaders in America are worried about AI generating fake or wrong information. They wrote letters to big tech companies like Google and Meta asking them to add safety protections, especially to keep kids safe. The companies need to add warnings and have someone check the AI before it talks to people.

President Trump's administration created a new rule about AI that tries to reduce different state laws and create one national standard. However, state leaders and other officials disagreed with this plan. They said states should make their own AI rules to protect their people.

Other big news includes X's Grok AI creating fake images that caused problems in multiple countries. Also, companies are learning that data privacy is getting harder because AI systems collect so much personal information now.
