AI Policy Change Watch

When the public answer changes, the record should show it.

Verified vendor ToS diffs appear when the fleet confirms a material change. Fixed monthly editions track what reviewed products publicly say about training use, opt-outs, retention, and human review.

Verified vendor diffs

Autonomous captures from vendor policy, pricing, and data-use pages. Empty until a second material change lands on a baselined source.

No autonomous vendor ToS diffs verified yet. The fleet is baselining 26 policy sources; a verified diff appears when a second material change lands on a baselined page. Currently blocked from the fleet UA: OpenAI usage policies, OpenAI privacy policy (data use). Monthly editions below remain the public trail.

Institutional teams that need continuous monitoring can open monitoring & advisory or contact PAI.

June 2026 — governance signals and stable policies

Mid-June review of the 15 baseline products finds no material changes to training use, opt-out, retention, or human review policies. The most significant governance signal this month came from outside policy pages: Anthropic suspended Claude Fable 5 approximately one hour after PAI's CompassEval sweep completed, raising practitioner questions about model lifecycle governance and what prior-consent rights apply when a model is withdrawn mid-evaluation.
