AI News for July 24, 2026

The White House's AI pre-release review formalizes by August 1 — voluntary on paper, backed by demonstrated export powers — Delhi's High Court denies ANI interim relief against OpenAI, Huawei's chip revenue heads for a 60% jump despite US controls, and Anthropic returns Fable 5 globally. All 48 stories from the day, below.

The month’s access-control arc reaches its deadline: the White House’s AI pre-release review framework formalizes by August 1 — voluntary on paper, as one report puts it, while the Commerce Department’s export orders on Anthropic and OpenAI have already demonstrated the mandatory authority underneath. The controls’ limits got a number the same day: Huawei’s chip revenue is set to jump 60% to $12 billion despite them. And Europe’s own clock keeps ticking — an analysis walks through what the EU AI Act actually enforces and when as the August 2 transparency deadline arrives.

The courts gave the AI industry a split week. Delhi’s High Court denied ANI interim copyright relief against OpenAI, citing fair dealing and no substantial similarity in outputs — days after a US judge approved a $1.5 billion settlement, an Indian court leaned the other way. Apple’s trade-secret suit against OpenAI came into focus too: the company alleges OpenAI poached Apple engineers and took confidential information to build its hardware device. And Anthropic returned Fable 5 globally while proposing an industry framework for scoring jailbreak severity with partners.

The hardware and security ledgers both ran hot. AMD moved Helios into full production with Q3 shipments and OpenAI and Anthropic adopting, while an analysis of its event argues the revenue is shifting from training to inference. TechCrunch reports AI guardrails are impeding legitimate offensive-security researchers — the same tension the rogue-agent saga exposed, now from the defenders’ side. Ransomware, meanwhile, shows a record number of active groups and a 60% surge in victim disclosures. And the workforce is feeling it: one survey finds AI layoff anxiety has a third of US workers disengaging, while SpaceXAI pushed Grok into Google Workspace after Microsoft 365.
