  TVA data center capacity commitment charge (2026)

  Tennessee Valley Authority · Effective October 1, 2026 · Tenn. Valley Auth. Bd. of Dirs. — Data Center Capacity Commitment Charge (approved Aug. 20, 2026; eff. Oct. 1, 2026)

  The Tennessee Valley Authority's Board of Directors approved a separate, higher wholesale rate for data centers on August 20, 2026, effective October 1. New or expanding data center loads above 5 megawatts now fall under a Capacity Commitment Charge attached to TVA's data center rate schedules, designed to recover the incremental capacity costs those customers impose on the system. The headline figures are substantial: upfront capacity commitment charges of roughly $1.5 million per megawatt, payable over three to five years, and an all-in average billing increase for data center customers of about 10%, phased in across three consecutive fiscal years. The stated purpose is to keep residential rates low while still serving growing data center demand. TVA matters here out of proportion to a single utility. It is a federal corporate agency supplying power across seven states, so this is not a state rate case but a regional cost-allocation decision reaching a large share of the Southeast — and TVA is among the first large US utilities to adopt a tariff aimed specifically at AI-driven load. Where most 2026 measures in this dataset restrict where data centers may be built, this one changes what they pay to run.

  Bartz v. Anthropic

  N.D. Cal. · Effective September 5, 2025 · Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, No. 3:24-cv-05417 (N.D. Cal.)

  Authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson sued Anthropic over its use of pirated-book datasets to train Claude. In June 2025 Judge William Alsup ruled that training on lawfully purchased books was fair use. The piracy claims (LibGen ingestion) proceeded toward settlement; in September 2025 Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion class settlement covering ~500,000 works. Judge Alsup granted preliminary approval September 25, 2025 and final approval July 20, 2026. The appeal period runs through August 19, 2026; class members will not receive payments until at least end of 2026.

  COPPA + 2025 Rule (childrens data)

  United States · Effective June 23, 2025 · 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506; 16 C.F.R. Part 312

  COPPA requires online services aimed at children under 13 to get verifiable parental consent before collecting kids' personal data. The 2025 rule update — fully in effect since April 22, 2026 — adds biometric identifiers (like face templates and voiceprints, which matter for AI tools), requires separate parental consent before sharing children's data for targeted advertising, and tightens data retention limits.

  S.D. Ohio · Effective April 16, 2025 · NetChoice, LLC v. Yost, No. 2:24-cv-00047 (S.D. Ohio Apr. 16, 2025)

  Ohio's Social Media Parental Notification Act — requiring parental consent for minors' social-media use, including algorithmic feeds — was preliminarily enjoined on February 12, 2024, then permanently enjoined on April 16, 2025 when the district court granted summary judgment for NetChoice. The state appealed to the Sixth Circuit, which vacated the district court's injunction in 2026.

  The companion copyright case: Stephen Thaler sought to register a copyright with 'Creativity Machine' (his AI) as the author. The D.C. Circuit affirmed in March 2025 that the Copyright Act's human-authorship requirement is dispositive as a matter of statutory law. AI cannot be a copyright author under U.S. law.

  FTC Impersonation Rule (AI)

  United States · Effective April 1, 2024 · 16 C.F.R. Part 461; 89 Fed. Reg. 15017

  The FTC's Impersonation Rule lets the agency directly sue scammers who pretend to be a government agency or a real business — including those who use AI-cloned voices or generated images to do so. Civil penalties can reach $53,088 per violation. The FTC also issued a supplemental notice in February 2024 proposing to extend the rule to all individual impersonation.

  The FTC banned Rite Aid from using facial-recognition technology in its stores for five years after finding the pharmacy chain's FRT system falsely tagged customers — disproportionately women and people of color — as shoplifters, leading to wrongful detentions and humiliations.

  TCPA (AI voice calls)

  United States · Effective February 8, 2024 · 47 U.S.C. § 227; FCC 24-17

  Robocalls using AI-cloned or AI-generated voices are treated like other 'artificial voice' calls: callers need your prior express consent, must identify themselves, and must offer opt-outs for telemarketing. You can personally sue violators for $500 to $1,500 per illegal call.

  The EEOC's first AI-hiring-discrimination case ended with a $365,000 consent decree in September 2023. iTutorGroup's online application system was programmed to auto-reject female applicants 55+ and male applicants 60+ — a clear ADEA violation through algorithmic age screening.

  Stephen Thaler, inventor of the 'DABUS' AI system, sought to list DABUS as the inventor on two patent applications. The Federal Circuit ruled in August 2022 that under the Patent Act 'inventor' must be a natural person. The Supreme Court denied certiorari in April 2023, settling U.S. law: AI systems cannot be inventors of record.

  ECOA / Regulation B (AI credit discrimination)

  United States · Effective October 28, 1975 · 15 U.S.C. § 1691; 12 C.F.R. Part 1002

  Lenders cannot discriminate in credit decisions and must give you specific, accurate reasons when they deny or worsen your credit — even if the decision was made by an AI model. Earlier CFPB guidance said lenders can't hide behind 'black box' algorithms; that guidance was withdrawn in May 2025, but the underlying statute and regulation still require accurate adverse-action notices.

  When a company uses a consumer report or score — including AI-generated risk scores from background-check and tenant/employment screening firms — to deny you credit, insurance, housing, or a job, it must tell you and identify the agency that supplied the report. You have the right to a free copy of your file and to dispute inaccurate information, no matter how algorithmic the scoring was.

  United States · Effective July 2, 1965 · 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.; 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.

  Federal anti-discrimination law applies when employers use AI tools to screen resumes, score interviews, or rank candidates: if an AI tool disproportionately screens out people by race, sex, disability, or other protected traits, the employer can be liable. The EEOC's specific AI guidance documents from 2023 were removed in January 2025, but the underlying laws are unchanged and still enforceable.

Companies cannot lie about what their AI can do, use AI to deceive people, or sell AI tools designed for fraud. The FTC's 'Operation AI Comply' sweep has brought numerous cases since 2024.

  Hachette v. Google (Gemini AI copyright)

  Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, Elsevier, and author Scott Turow filed a copyright class action against Google in the Southern District of New York on July 10, 2026 (No. 1:26-cv-05870), alleging Google used millions of copyrighted books and academic journal articles without authorization to train its Gemini AI models. The complaint alleges Google misused works supplied for Google Books 'snippet' access to copy full texts for AI training, also sourcing material from pirate websites. An internal Google document cited in the complaint estimates potential copyright exposure of $10 billion to $100 billion. The case is distinct from (and does not overlap with) the existing NYT v. OpenAI and Authors Guild v. OpenAI suits.

  FERC Large-Load Interconnection Orders (RM26-4)

  United States · Effective June 18, 2026 · FPA § 206 show-cause orders, FERC Docket Nos. EL26-67 through EL26-72 (June 18, 2026), advancing ANOPR Docket No. RM26-4-000

  On June 18, 2026, FERC issued tailored show-cause orders under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act to the six major U.S. regional grid operators (PJM, MISO, SPP, CAISO, ISO-NE, and NYISO), directing each to either justify its existing large-load interconnection tariff as just and reasonable or file tariff revisions within 60 days. The orders target the surge in demand from AI data centers and large industrial loads, requiring reforms to study processes, cost transparency to prevent cost-shifting onto ordinary ratepayers, co-location and behind-the-meter accommodation, and new services for flexible large loads. FERC left retail cost-shifting protection to state regulators; reforms apply prospectively and do not disrupt existing deals.

  In November 2025, the DOJ settled with RealPage — the dominant algorithmic rent-pricing software company — requiring it to stop using competitors' real-time pricing data to coordinate rents. The settlement received preliminary court approval in May 2026 and places RealPage under a court-appointed compliance monitor for seven years. Thousands of property managers used RealPage's software; the DOJ alleged it enabled competing landlords to align rental prices, harming renters across the country.

  NetChoice v. Bonta (SB 976)

  N.D. Cal. · Effective December 31, 2024 · NetChoice, LLC v. Bonta, No. 5:24-cv-07885 (N.D. Cal.)

  NetChoice (the tech-industry trade group) challenged California's SB 976 — which restricts addictive algorithmic feeds for minors — and won a preliminary injunction blocking key portions on First Amendment grounds in December 2024. The Ninth Circuit is reviewing. IN SEPTEMBER 2026 THE ARGUMENT WIDENED IN A WAY WORTH RECORDING. The challenge had 'largely centered on how the law violates SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES' First Amendment rights to curate user-generated content and present it as they see fit' — a platform-rights theory. A friend-of-the-court brief filed by the ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION together with the CENTER FOR DEMOCRACY & TECHNOLOGY and the WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION argues that the law violates TEEN USERS' First Amendment rights TOO. SB 976 requires that teen social media users get their PARENTS' PERMISSION before seeing other users' recommended speech in their feeds. The brief's argument is that recommendation systems serve a DUAL purpose: they help users discover other people's speech, and they get the user's OWN speech in front of a wider audience. On that reading a parental-consent gate on recommendations is not merely a restriction on what a teenager may read — it is a restriction on how far what they say can travel. The brief argues SB 976 'frustrates young people's ability to use the internet to its full potential, prohibiting them from relying on tools that disseminate their speech and help them view and interact with other users' speech,' and that it creates 'significant, constitutionally violative, burdens on young users' ability to read and comment on the news, discuss politics, find and share art, share their religious beliefs, or even practice their religion.' This entry is indexed as a protection-relevant record precisely because the interests here point in opposite directions: SB 976 is a child-safety measure, and the parties arguing it is unconstitutional include digital-rights organisations arguing on behalf of the minors it was written to protect.
