In a recent trial, a federal jury found Tesla partially liable for a 2019 crash involving its Autopilot system, awarding the plaintiffs $43 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages. The jury determined that Tesla was one-third responsible for the fatal crash, which occurred when the driver and the Autopilot software failed to brake at an intersection. This verdict is a setback for the company, as they are attempting to convince the public and regulators that their self-driving technology is safe. Tesla plans to appeal the decision, maintaining that the driver was solely at fault.

Bryan Kohberger to plead guilty to all counts in Idaho college murders, and the news is truly surprising, isn’t it? After all the delays and legal maneuvering, it feels like a curveball has been thrown right at us. Everyone expected a long, drawn-out trial, and now, a plea deal seems to be on the table. It’s a pretty significant shift, considering how the case has unfolded.

In a recent legal victory for Meta, a judge ruled in favor of the company in a copyright lawsuit filed by authors who alleged their works were used without permission to train Meta’s AI system. The judge determined that the authors failed to provide sufficient evidence of market harm caused by Meta’s AI, classifying the use of copyrighted material as “fair use”. This ruling follows a similar decision in favor of Anthropic, another AI company, though the judge acknowledged the complexities of the copyright issues surrounding AI training. Furthermore, the judge expressed sympathy for the authors’ argument that AI models may undermine the market for creative works.

A lawsuit filed by the America First Legal Foundation, a group closely tied to President Trump, seeks to significantly expand executive branch power over the federal judiciary. Disguised as a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the suit argues that key judicial bodies should be considered executive branch agencies, thereby granting the President control over appointments and dismissals within the court system. Legal scholars widely dismiss the suit’s central claim as legally unsound, viewing it as a provocative attempt to undermine judicial independence. This action represents a further escalation of the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign to erode the judiciary’s authority.
