⚖️ Legal × AI Watch
The intersection most engineers ignore and most lawyers don't understand. That's your edge.
- 🇪🇺 EU AI Act enforcement update — High-risk AI systems now require documented testing logs. If your CI doesn't produce audit trails, you're already behind.
- 📜 Copyright & AI-generated code — New USPTO guidance suggests AI-assisted code may qualify for copyright if human selection and arrangement is documented. TL;DR: your PR review history is your IP proof.
- 🔍 Compliance tip: Add
