Policy + regulation
AI policy news is dominated by three actors: the EU (AI Act implementation, GPAI obligations, enforcement decisions), the US (executive orders, NIST guidance, state-level action in California and New York), and the UK (AI Safety Institute, voluntary commitments from labs). PulseAugur clusters policy coverage from regulators, law-firm briefings, lab compliance statements, and independent policy analysts so a single decision shows up as one cluster with every angle. Coverage is global; the regulatory bodies that don't make English-language news first (CAC in China, METI in Japan) get translated cluster surfaces with the original-language source preserved.
