AI Policy Weekly — Issue #7: Anthropic export controls face scrutiny as Congress moves on deepfakes

AI Policy Weekly — Issue #6: Fable 5 export shutdown, White House trades AI preemption for KOSA, and G7 opens without binding rules

The U.S. government used export control authority to suspend global developer access to Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — three days after launch, with no notice, marking the first time a commercial AI API has been treated as export-controlled technology. Simultaneously, the White House relaunched its effort to preempt state AI laws by bundling it with kids' safety bills; Sen. Warren's AI hearing proceeded without Nvidia's Jensen Huang; and the G7 Évian summit opened with all three major AI lab CEOs present but no binding multilateral commitments in sight.

AI Policy Weekly — Issue #5: Trump signs frontier-model EO, Congress floats 3-year state freeze, and Warren calls Jensen Huang to testify

Trump signed an executive order creating a voluntary (but de facto mandatory) NSA-led pre-release review for frontier AI models on June 2, followed by NSPM-11 on June 5 directing the national security enterprise to accelerate AI adoption. The Great American AI Act discussion draft dropped June 4, proposing 3-year preemption of state AI development laws alongside mandatory semi-annual audits for companies above $500M revenue. Sen. Warren called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to testify June 11 on export-control compliance. The EU Digital Omnibus provisional agreement must be formally adopted before August 2 or relief provisions lapse.

AI Policy Weekly — Issue #4: BIS closes the Malaysia loophole, Senate kills federal preemption 99-1, and two state AI laws land on governors' desks

BIS issued surprise guidance May 31 reactivating export license requirements for Chinese-owned subsidiaries buying Nvidia Blackwell and AMD AI chips outside China — closing a gap open since May 2025. The Senate voted 99-1 to strip federal AI preemption from the One Big Beautiful Bill; the White House is pursuing state laws through DOJ litigation instead. Connecticut Governor Lamont signed the AIRT Act on May 27 (AEDT and frontier model rules take effect October 1). Illinois SB 315 passed the House 110-0 and Governor Pritzker has confirmed he will sign it. The EU appointed its 60-member AI Act Scientific Panel on June 1, two months before the August 2 enforcement deadline.

AI Policy Weekly — Issue #3: Trump's AI oversight order drafted and killed, first Take It Down Act arrests, and BIS's non-enforcement stance called into question

A White House AI security EO was drafted, leaked, and canceled inside 24 hours. DOJ filed the first criminal TAKE IT DOWN Act charges six days after enforcement began. GAO ruled BIS never legally suspended the AI Diffusion Rule. And the Illinois Senate passed a frontier AI bill more demanding than anything in California or New York.

AI Policy Weekly — Issue #2: Congress tightens chip-equipment controls, EU pushes back AI Act deadlines, and FTC enforcement of deepfake law begins

The MATCH Act cleared committee, targeting chip-manufacturing equipment rather than finished chips, and China's foreign ministry hit back on the eve of Trump-Xi talks. The EU's Digital Omnibus pushed high-risk AI deadlines 16 months while adding CSAM and nudification prohibitions. The FTC switched on Take It Down Act enforcement May 19. And Connecticut passed one of the most complete state AI safety laws in the country.

AI Policy Weekly — Issue #1: Model vetting showdown, chip smuggling crackdown, and the Take It Down Act at one year

The White House and Congress are both drafting AI model review frameworks — but can't agree on whether oversight should be voluntary or mandatory. Three criminal chip-smuggling prosecutions expose organized evasion networks. BIS just imposed its second-largest penalty ever. And the Take It Down Act turns one with no enforcement actions yet.
