A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.

- Canadian mother sues OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT led her daughter to kill herself
Suit filed in US alleges chatbot told Alice Carrier, 24, ‘maybe this is just the end’ as she struggled with suicidal thoughts A Canadian mother sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, in US court on Thursday, alleging that ChatGPT encouraged her daughter to kill herself. The lawsuit is the latest in a slew accusing the company of failing to address dangerous conversations between users and the company’s chatbot. Kristie Carrier said in a lawsuit filed in San Francisco state court that her daughter, Alice, told ChatGPT about her suicidal ideations more than a dozen times leading up to her death but that OpenAI’s safety systems never flagged the conversations for human review or terminated them.

- Anthropic’s new AI model is powerful, dazzling—and about to get really expensive
Anthropic’s eye-poppingly powerful new model , Fable, is worth testing while you still can. Built by the company behind the Claude chatbot, Fable is the publicly safe version of Mythos, the model Anthropic deemed too dangerous to release just two months ago. To make it available to the average user, Anthropic has introduced stringent guardrails designed to prevent the cutting-edge model from being used for high-risk applications. Those who have used it describe Fable as a step change in AI capability, able to handle complicated tasks with ease. That’s one reason to adopt it—and quickly. But there’s another: In less than two weeks, it will disappear from most people’s budgets. For now, Fable is accessible to monthly Anthropic subscribers on Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plans. But that’s only through June 22. After that, Anthropic is putting it solely behind API access, where users have to pay on a per-token basis. And if there’s one thing big businesses and everyday users are quickly realizing as their bank accounts are hit by ever-bigger AI bills, it’s that tokens aren’t free . Anthropic says the limited subscriber access is due to capacity constraints. “As enough capacity comes online, we aim to make it a standard part of those [subscription] limits again,” wrote Anthropic’s head of growth, Amol Avasare, on X. “We’re sprinting as hard as we can at this,” he added. But Avasare said the company couldn’t make any promises on timing. When this period ends you can still use Fable 5 via Extra Usage, it just won't be included in subscription limits. As enough capacity comes online, we aim to make it a standard part of those limits again. We're sprinting as hard as we can at this. — Amol Avasare (@TheAmolAvasare) June 9, 2026 Increasingly, though, what looks like a temporary capacity hiccup feels more like an indication of AI’s future direction. Since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, consumer AI has been built on a simple premise: Pay $20 or more a month, get access to the smartest machines on earth, and use them as much as the companies allow. Most users never hit their limits, while plenty of heavy users got effectively subsidized access. But as agentic AI replaces chatbots as the newest way to interact with AI systems, the price of inference—the cost of delivering the service—has shot up. The better these systems become, the more likely people are to ask them to do longer, messier, more valuable work, even as the cost of the hardware needed to serve the models keeps rising. That is why the industry is quietly moving from “all you can eat” to “eat what you can afford.” Last month, Google shifted Gemini toward compute-based limits; Microsoft’s GitHub recently cut back its usage limits ; and at the end of May, OpenAI switched off its usage-limit multiplier after a monthslong trial. All are examples of the endless AI subscription model being squeezed by the economic realities of delivering the technology. The “unlimited” frontier AI era was fun while it lasted.

Marvell Technology says its newly unveiled Teralynx T100 is the industry’s first 102.4 Tbps switch silicon purpose-built for AI. The Teralynx T100 was architected for AI, with low power consumption and low latency at this bandwidth tier, to address critical bottlenecks in today’s large clusters. Data movement has become an important concern in modern AI data centers. In the past, a cluster of a few servers could adequately handle back-office applications and databases. But with AI’s gigantic models, all sections of the data center need to move and receive data at high speeds. That requires a lot more power use than in the past. GPU- and XPU-based systems are approaching 120KW per rack, and switching and networking components consume approximately 15-25% of total rack power, making low-power switch silicon a strategic requirement. The Teralynx T100 delivers up to 25% lower power consumption than competitive solutions at a higher data rate. This enables AI infrastructures to deploy more accelerators within existing power envelopes without requiring additional power infrastructure. “As AI workloads evolve and scale exponentially, hyperscalers require network architectures that optimize latency, power and scalability simultaneously,” said Rishi Chugh, vice president and general manager of the data center switch business unit at Marvell, in a statement. “The Teralynx T100 was purpose-built for AI—designed without the legacy baggage that inflates power, and engineered to deliver the deterministic performance and efficiency required to scale next-generation data center infrastructure.” For scale-out deployments, the T100 supports up to a 512-port radix, enabling operators to consolidate network tiers, simplify architectures, and reduce latency across large AI training clusters with tens of thousands of accelerators. For scale-up deployments, the product’s flexible and programmable pipeline architecture supports a variety of interconnect standards and emerging scale-up fabric protocols, such as the Ethernet Scale-Up Networking (ESUN) protocol, the latest Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) requirements, and evolving AI Ethernet fabrics. The Marvell Teralynx T100 switch will begin sampling to customers this quarter.

Anthropic on Wednesday joined growing calls for the artificial intelligence industry to find ways to cushion people from the technology's disruptions, announcing an initial USD 200 million investment to research AI's impact on jobs and the economy. Alongside new policy proposals from the maker of the Claude chatbot, Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei published an essay on his personal website that expanded on his position that the government should promise economic support for those financially impacted by AI. The technology could produce much larger disruptions to the labour market than previous technological advancements, Amodei wrote, and those disruptions could last longer. "The key challenge in such a world won't be incentivizing growth, but finding a way for everyone to share in the benefits," Amodei wrote. The announcement comes on the heels of Anthropic rival OpenAI on Monday outlining goals that included ensuring gains from the technology are "widely shared". OpenAI
