The Sky's the Limit? SkyKick v Sky and Speculative Trade Mark Registration
Trade marks are registered for specific products, which defines the scope of their exclusive legal monopoly. To benefit from a broad scope, applicants increasingly overclaim. They apply for categories of products with no intention to use the mark on them...

The Ocean Treaty’s Novel Approach to Genetic Resources: A Response to Brad Sherman’s ‘Law in Non-Places’
Michigan antitrust lawsuit says oil companies hobbled EVs and renewables
The energy industry is pressing for laws that would ban climate liability lawsuits.
Netflix
With nearly 150 million subscribers around the world, Netflix has a commanding lead in the streaming wars. But it’s also facing heavy competition from deep-pocketed conglomerates like Disney, Apple, and AT&T, and an ongoing wave of narrow, targeted streaming sites...
Politics
Big tech companies tend to make a lot of enemies — but there are none more powerful than the US government. Apple, Google, Amazon, and Meta are regularly called in front of Congress to fend off monopoly accusations — and...
HBO
Originally a private cable network, then a premium cable channel, then a mini-network of specialized and dedicated channels, HBO has evolved into a powerhouse of original content production. Game of Thrones is its most obvious success story. But series like...
Creators
YouTube, Instagram, SoundCloud, and other online platforms are changing the way people create and consume media. The Verge’s Creators section covers the people using these platforms, what they’re making, and how those platforms are changing (for better and worse) in...
Hollywood isn’t happy about the new Seedance 2.0 video generator
Hollywood organizations are pushing back against a new AI video model called Seedance 2.0, which they say has quickly become a tool for “blatant” copyright infringement.
Airbnb plans to bake in AI features for search, discovery and support
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said the company wants to increase its use of large language models for customer discovery, support and engineering.
Understanding the Regulation of the Use of Artificial Intelligence Under International Law
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of human life, from the economic sector to the government system. While it brings significant benefits, AI also poses legal and ethical risks that have not been fully addressed in...
NL2LOGIC: AST-Guided Translation of Natural Language into First-Order Logic with Large Language Models
arXiv:2602.13237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated reasoning is critical in domains such as law and governance, where verifying claims against facts in documents requires both accuracy and interpretability. Recent work adopts structured reasoning pipelines that translate natural language into first-order...
X-Blocks: Linguistic Building Blocks of Natural Language Explanations for Automated Vehicles
arXiv:2602.13248v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural language explanations play a critical role in establishing trust and acceptance of automated vehicles (AVs), yet existing approaches lack systematic frameworks for analysing how humans linguistically construct driving rationales across diverse scenarios. This paper...
TemporalBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLM-Based Agents on Contextual and Event-Informed Time Series Tasks
arXiv:2602.13272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: It is unclear whether strong forecasting performance reflects genuine temporal understanding or the ability to reason under contextual and event-driven conditions. We introduce TemporalBench, a multi-domain benchmark designed to evaluate temporal reasoning behavior under progressively...
Accuracy Standards for AI at Work vs. Personal Life: Evidence from an Online Survey
arXiv:2602.13283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how people trade off accuracy when using AI-powered tools in professional versus personal contexts for adoption purposes, the determinants of those trade-offs, and how users cope when AI/apps are unavailable. Because modern AI...
Mirror: A Multi-Agent System for AI-Assisted Ethics Review
arXiv:2602.13292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ethics review is a foundational mechanism of modern research governance, yet contemporary systems face increasing strain as ethical risks arise as structural consequences of large-scale, interdisciplinary scientific practice. The demand for consistent and defensible decisions...
DiffusionRollout: Uncertainty-Aware Rollout Planning in Long-Horizon PDE Solving
arXiv:2602.13616v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose DiffusionRollout, a novel selective rollout planning strategy for autoregressive diffusion models, aimed at mitigating error accumulation in long-horizon predictions of physical systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). Building on the recently validated...
Guided Collaboration in Heterogeneous LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems via Entropy-Based Understanding Assessment and Experience Retrieval
arXiv:2602.13639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With recent breakthroughs in large language models (LLMs) for reasoning, planning, and complex task generation, artificial intelligence systems are transitioning from isolated single-agent architectures to multi-agent systems with collaborative intelligence. However, in heterogeneous multi-agent systems...
