Policy Deep Dive In this month's Caveat Policy Deep Dive, our conversation and analysis revolve around the One Big Beautiful Bill, or HR1. Throughout this conversation, we break down this bill and how its new initiatives are supporting the Trump administration's efforts. Some key aspects focused on during this conversation include breaking down the billions invested in improving technological capabilities, supply chain security, and defensive resiliency. Each of these efforts is reflective of President Trump's agenda to secure technological dominance for years to come. Get the weekly Caveat Briefing delivered to your inbox. Like what you heard?

This week’s ⁠⁠⁠⁠Caveat Briefing⁠⁠⁠⁠ covers how Anthropic has agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement with authors and publishers, marking the largest payout in U.S. copyright history after a judge ruled the company illegally downloaded millions of pirated books. While the court found that using legally obtained books to train AI models was fair use, Anthropic was held liable for acquiring works from shadow libraries like Library Genesis. The deal underscores growing legal pressure on AI companies and could push others toward licensing agreements or costly settlements to resolve copyright disputes. Curious about the details?
