Trump Orders Single National Framework for AI:
Trump just signed an executive order pushing for one set of AI rules instead of 50 different state laws. States can't enforce their own regulations anymore. The order creates a task force to sue states with laws the White House considers onerous.
Things to Know:
Federal Framework Over State Control: The order blocks individual states from enforcing their AI regulations. Instead, it establishes a single national framework for AI companies to follow.
Legal Battle Incoming: The Justice Department will create an AI Litigation Task Force within 30 days. This team exists solely to challenge state AI laws in court.
Funding as Leverage: States with AI laws deemed onerous could lose federal broadband funding. The Commerce Secretary has 90 days to determine eligibility for BEAD program money.
White House AI czar David Sacks says the administration won't challenge all state laws. Child safety protections will remain untouched. Everything else is fair game for federal intervention.

Disney Hands Over Characters to OpenAI for $1B:
Disney just wrote OpenAI a check for a billion dollars. In return, over 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars will be available on Sora. This marks Disney's first major move into licensing its characters for AI-generated content.
Things to Know:
The Big Bucks Deal: Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI and becoming its first major content licensing partner. The three-year agreement kicks off in early 2026. Disney also gets warrants to buy additional equity down the road.
What You Can Actually Do: Sora users can create short videos using 200+ Disney characters, from Mickey Mouse to Darth Vader. ChatGPT Images will also let you generate stills with these characters. Think fan-made content, but powered by AI instead of animation skills.
What's Off Limits: No actor voices or likenesses are included in this deal. So you can't make Darth Vader sound like James Earl Jones or recreate Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. Disney and OpenAI created a steering committee to monitor what gets made and prevent misuse.
A curated selection of these AI-generated videos will actually stream on Disney+. Disney will also use OpenAI's tech to build new products and tools for its streaming platform. They're calling it "responsible AI" that respects creators while expanding storytelling possibilities.
Google Translate Drops Wild Headphone Feature:
Google just turned your regular headphones into a universal translator. The new beta feature brings real-time translations directly to your ears. It keeps tone, emphasis, and cadence intact so you actually know who's talking.
Things to Know:
Live Translate Goes Wireless: Open the Translate app, tap Live Translate, and boom. You're hearing conversations, lectures, or foreign TV shows in your language. Works with any headphones across 70+ languages in the U.S., Mexico, and India on Android.
Gemini Makes Translations Human: Google's adding advanced AI capabilities that understand context. No more word-for-word nonsense when you translate idioms like "stealing my thunder." It actually gets what phrases mean now instead of butchering them completely.
Duolingo Better Watch Out: Language learning tools are expanding to 20 new countries with improved feedback. Google added streak tracking to show your daily practice consistency. The feature wars between translation apps just got more interesting for language learners everywhere.
The headphone translation feature hits iOS and more countries in 2026. Gemini-powered translations are already live on Android, iOS, and web between English and 20 languages. Early beta users are testing everything before the wider rollout begins.
