State regulators have approved over 80% of insurer requests to exclude AI-related damages from general liability policies, already effective in Florida, Connecticut, and Maryland. A new standalone AI liability market with $2M–$50M limits is emerging to fill the gap.
The Trump administration is considering requiring frontier AI labs to submit safety test results to the government — a reversal driven by national security concerns over Anthropic's Mythos model.
Microsoft is internally reviewing whether to abandon its 2030 clean energy commitment as AI data center expansion has pushed power demand far beyond what its renewable procurement pipeline can cover.
Legal AI platform Legora has reached a $5.6 billion valuation in its latest funding round, intensifying its rivalry with Harvey AI as institutional law firms commit serious capital to AI-assisted legal work.
Bret Taylor's Sierra is raising nearly $1 billion in new funding as regulated industries—banking, insurance, healthcare—commit serious capital to autonomous AI agents in customer-facing roles.
