Sony and Universal sue Suno again - this time over the v6 model

Sony Music and Universal Music Group filed another lawsuit against Suno, the maker of an AI music generator. The labels claim the new v6 model still infringes their copyrights, because it was trained on songs users created with Suno's earlier models and by distilling those models. The earlier models were trained on unlicensed recordings, and the labels call carrying their output over into v6 "model laundering" in the complaint.

Anthropic's IPO prospectus: $42 billion net loss in 2025 and a warning of "existential" AI risk

Anthropic devoted 80 of the 261 pages of its prospectus to risks and warns in it that advanced AI may pose "catastrophic or existential threats to humanity," Reuters reports. The document shows that the company's revenue grew twelvefold in 2025, to almost $4.6 billion, and its net loss was $42 billion. At the valuation above $2 trillion that investors are hoping for, it would be the largest stock market debut in history.

OpenAI adds an invisible watermark to ChatGPT and Codex text in the European Union to comply with the AI Act

OpenAI announced on Monday, October 5, that in the coming weeks it will start adding an invisible watermark to text generated by ChatGPT and Codex in the European Union - a response to the AI Act's transparency rules, which have applied since August 2. The textGrain technology doesn't insert any symbol; instead, it steers word choice so that a detector can read the pattern. API customers worldwide can enable it from October 5; it is off by default. In OpenAI's tests, replacing 10 percent of the words with synonyms lowered detectability from about 92 to 66 percent, and replacing 25 percent lowered it to 17 percent, so initially only researchers and institutions approved by OpenAI will get access to the detector.

Finland ordered Google to halt construction of two data centers pending environmental assessments

Finland's licensing and supervisory authority LVV ordered Google-owned Tuike Finland Oy to stop, by October 23 at the latest, work on data centers in Muhos and Kajaani - tree felling, topsoil removal, excavation and road building - until environmental impact assessments are completed. The decision came a month after Google announced $15 billion in AI infrastructure investments in Finland, the largest in Europe. A company spokesperson admitted to CNBC that Google "fell short of its own high standards" and said it would comply with the decision.
