The UK government said it will accept all 44 recommendations of the National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare, and the MHRA opened AI Airlock Phase 3 applications focused on post-market surveillance.

OpenAI is adding an invisible textGrain watermark to ChatGPT and Codex text in the EU. Short, edited or translated text is much harder to detect.
