Character.AI said on September 30, 2025 that it had removed Disney characters after a cease-and-desist letter dated September 18, 2025. It likens the user-made bots to fan fiction, so the takedown meets Disney's demand without settling the dispute.

Human editing carries the only registrable copyright in an AI-assisted asset

The rule the US Copyright Office set out in January 2025 survived the D.C. Circuit and then a 2026 cert denial, which leaves your defensible ownership in the editing, selection and arrangement you can actually point to.

Google's Pixel 11 spec sheet reuses its cloud accelerator's name for an on-device NPU

Engadget reads the TPU in the Tensor G6 as an NPU with a borrowed name. That leaves the phone's "50 percent more TPU compute" figure with nothing useful to say in a conversation about renting data center silicon.

Free tiers are now dated liabilities, and AI vendors keep shortening the date

Free quotas expire on the vendor's schedule, and on AI platforms that schedule is measured in months. The exit costs more than re-plumbing, so it belongs in the integration budget.
