UK: UCL law school has stated its intention to “secure” assessments against artificial intelligence (AI), declaring the shift a “response to the future” in upholding trust and integrity amid “AI slop”.

Canadian Health Data Requires Stronger Safeguards With Lost Canada-U.S. Trust
With today’s implementation of tariffs on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, the level of mistrust between our countries has grown, whether urgent calls to “Buy Canadian” or boos and catcalls at the playing of the American national anthem. Should we continue down this path, Mr. Trump will surely seek to exploit more of Canada’s
How Accurate Are Corporate AI Disclosures?
