Scientific publishing has long depended on an imperfect assumption: producing a credible paper usually costs enough that its publication offers evidence that substantive work
occurred. AI destabilizes that assumption. A fabricated study can reproduce the signals associated with genuine research—method, data, citations, disciplinary language—without [...]
When the AI Life Cycle Core Principles (AILCCP) was first published on this blog in March 2023, it was a list. A carefully considered list, grounded in published standards
and enforcement practice, but a list nonetheless. 37 principles, each with a name and a definition, organized by category. [...]
The Stanford HAI issue brief The World Model and Spatial Intelligence Era: Governing AI Beyond Language prompted me to update the AI Life Cycle Core Principles (AILCCP) framework.
The brief identifies a third object of AI oversight, the validity of the learned environment itself. [...]
AI increasingly reaches beyond the screen. Vision-language-action models can translate images and instructions into robotic movements. Driving models can convert sensor data
into steering and braking commands. World foundation models generate and predict physical environments used to train and test the systems that act within them. [...]

Introduction On July 1, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission published a proposed policy statement applying Section 5 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a), to AI companies that
steer their systems’ outputs “contrary to consumers’ reasonable expectations.” Public comment closes on July 31, 2026. [...]
A hyperscaler data center project is one of the most legally complex developments a community can face, and the issues that decide whether it is completed successfully are
numerous and technical, extending far beyond land use matters. In fact, the obligations most likely to halt development do not concern zoning at all, rather they [...]
Australia introduced a world-first law banning children under 16 from accessing social media platforms. The Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age), which took effect
in December 2025, requires providers of social media platforms to take reasonable steps to prevent Australians under 16 from having accounts, or face civil penalties. [...]
The Stanford Computational Antitrust Project announces the publication of “Ulysses: A Case Outcome Predictor for Computational Antitrust” by Piero Alexis Malca Vilchez,
César Humberto Quiñones Costa, and Enzo Rodrigo Gomez Rojas. The article appears in Volume 6 of Stanford Computational Antitrust (pp. [...]
The Stanford Computational Antitrust Project announces the publication of “Generative AI Use by Competition Authorities: Why, Why Not, and What Might Be” by Richard May.
The article appears in Volume 6 of Stanford Computational Antitrust (pp. 112-138). [...]
