AI-made photos, clips, and voices now spread faster than anyone can trace them. Google says it has already marked more than 180 billion images and videos, but its new public checker spots only files from companies that agreed to use the system.
The listing is a rare public-market test for humanoid robots: unlike most cash-burning AI startups, Unitree already turns a profit, and DeepSeek's stake ties China's leading AI models to one of its best-known robot makers.
The meme push revives the viral identity xAI has spent months trying to leave behind, after Grok's image tools were used to mass-produce nonconsensual deepfakes and drew regulators on three continents.
It is the first change to Europe's landmark AI law before its main rules ever took effect. Companies that build large AI models get no relief, and civil society groups say the reprieve leaves people exposed to risky systems for another year.
The AI study tools Google first gave teachers, then college students, now reach children in primary and secondary school. The change folds a chatbot into the daily routine of a platform used by roughly 150 million people, and it lands as researchers warn that leaning on AI too early can hollow out how young minds learn.

Chinese labs are competing hard on price and open access, a shift analysts say is already changing how companies decide which AI models to run.
The duty falls on any company whose systems reach users inside the bloc, and regulators can now enforce it with fines.
Weeks of selling have erased more than $1 trillion from the biggest chip makers, and the main U.S. semiconductor index sits over 20% below its June peak. Record results are no longer enough to reassure investors, who are rethinking how quickly the AI building boom will turn into profit.
