Released by the European Commission, the Code provides practical steps for labelling AI-generated content, such as deepfakes and AI-altered text, especially in public interest contexts. While the Code is optional, the obligations it outlines will be mandatory by August 2026 under the EU AI Act. The initiative aims to help users identify AI-generated material and reduce the potential for deception. Companies are encouraged to sign the Code, with further guidelines expected to clarify its application.

Crusoe cancels $1.25B Boom turbine deal
The collapse of Crusoe’s $1.25 billion order for Boom Supersonic’s stationary turbines exposes the fragility of AI infrastructure financing. While Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, it pivoted away from on-site gas generation, opting instead for grid power and diverse energy mixes. This signals that even well-funded data center operators are prioritizing flexibility over massive, long-term capital commitments to specialized hardware. Boom’s pivot to sell jet engines as power plants was a bold bet on AI energy needs, but losing its anchor customer suggests the market is more cautious than anticipated.
