Hosts Ashley Coffey and Daniel Hill cover two big AI stories this week. First, Anthropic announced that Claude will now embed invisible watermarks in AI-generated text and attach signed "provenance" metadata (a verifiable digital record of where a file came from) to generated files like images, in order to comply with the EU AI Act. Ashley draws a parallel to the EU's USB-C charger mandate to show how EU tech regulations tend to ripple out and affect US companies and consumers too. Second, they dig into Google Gemini's milestone of surpassing 1 billion monthly active users, with a standout stat: 63% of Gemini users talk to it by voice rather than typing — which may explain why Apple chose Gemini to power its revamped Siri.
