AI Under Scrutiny: Europe Demands Training Data Disclosure, U.S. Moves to Ban Surveillance Pricing, and Trump Orders Ideological Neutrality in AI
In late July 2025, several major steps were taken in Europe and the United States to regulate privacy, data protection, and artificial intelligence (AI). These updates reflect a growing global focus on balancing technological innovation with the protection of individual rights. We’ll explore three key developments: a new European Commission template for AI training data disclosure, a proposed U.S. law to ban “surveillance pricing”, and an executive order by President Trump to prevent “woke AI” bias in federal agencies. Each of these moves highlights different approaches to ensuring AI and data practices are fair, transparent, and respectful of privacy.
