A test on China's register 2026-10-16T00:00:00Z In China's register of generative-AI services, where every launched application must display the filed service or model it uses, how concentrated is applications' dependence on a few base models, and on a fixed set of test cases are the errors, refusals and biased outputs of applications that share a base model more strongly correlated than those of applications built on different models, beyond the correlation already found between models from different providers? urn:uuid:4e856f02-3fb2-5ec5-b124-4dcc8467c485 New research opportunity: RO-LD12-07 — What do evaluators, researchers and regulators actually get to see under EU law? 2026-10-16T00:00:00Z For general-purpose AI providers that also run platforms or search engines designated under the Digital Services Act, what does each legal route for outside scrutiny deliver in practice (external evaluation under the GPAI Code of Practice, which applies only to models with systemic risk, vetted-researcher data access under the Digital Services Act, and the AI Office's information requests and model evaluations), recorded for each route as what object is reached (model, platform data or documents), who can start it, how long it takes and how deep the access goes? urn:uuid:b6b8474c-721f-5f8a-be0a-7490529e15e9 Claim LD12-HQ-C11 revised to v1.1 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z What changed: The public-facing claim now says the order directed Commerce to condition some non-deployment BEAD funding, to the maximum extent allowed by law, on the absence of state AI laws identified as onerous, instead of saying the order itself "tied eligibility" to state AI-law conditions. Why: A claim check on 13 October 2026 found that version 1.0 stated as done what the order only directed, and dropped the legal-limits hedge; the HQ primary read of the order records the direction to Commerce and the "to the maximum extent allowed by law" wording. The check and this revision were done by AI agents against the HQ notes, not by a person. urn:uuid:4059c954-9524-5477-a42f-441ba7769459 Research opportunity revised to v2: RO-LD12-01 — How often do people use GDPR rights over automated decisions, and what happens? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Literature check added: a second, deeper search for existing work, with its queries, new nearest work and limits. The question and verdict stand. urn:uuid:c79ce4f2-4cc0-52b8-a8df-db860ba1f08b Research opportunity revised to v2: RO-LD12-02 — How many staff and how much money do national AI Act enforcers actually have? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Literature check added: a second, deeper search for existing work, with its queries, new nearest work and limits. The question and verdict stand. urn:uuid:696caaf6-a78e-5bb1-a7c6-e4329c33e27b Research opportunity revised to v2: RO-LD12-03 — Did signing the EU's voluntary AI code change what model providers actually do? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Literature check added: a second, deeper search for existing work, with its queries, new nearest work and limits. The question and verdict stand. urn:uuid:d86f3bd9-0921-5ceb-ba19-10215d9f82ce Research opportunity revised to v2: RO-LD12-04 — China's AI filing register: how often are filings sent back, and whose models do apps use? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Literature check added: a second, deeper search for existing work, with its queries, new nearest work and limits. The question and verdict stand. urn:uuid:3ca27eb7-6d54-5a4a-85a1-356fca75672f Research opportunity revised to v2: RO-LD12-05 — Are AI products withheld from Europe because of the AI Act, or because of other rules? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Literature check added: a second, deeper search for existing work, with its queries, new nearest work and limits. The question and verdict stand. urn:uuid:29332aa0-9dfc-5945-87ac-17ee1cf36f56 Research opportunity revised to v3: RO-LD12-05 — Do EU delays of AI products line up with the AI Act's dates or with other EU rules? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Reworded after a test reading of the opportunity pages on 13 October 2026 (an AI stand-in run of the founder test, not an outside reader) found that the question's window, releases "between 2023 and 2028", ran past today, so the study could not be run as written. The question now covers releases from 2023 onwards and the two general-purpose model dates that have already passed; the high-risk dates (December 2027 and August 2028) become a later extension. It now asks whether delays cluster around legal dates, which the design can show, rather than implying it can prove what caused a delay, and the title says the same. The GovAI report entry now records that the report was read in full in the literature check. The literature check and verdict are unchanged. urn:uuid:f54f5010-a294-507a-8847-9c76b29d0fa5 Research opportunity revised to v2: RO-LD12-06 — Do AI hiring-audit rules cost small employers more than large ones? 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Literature check added: a second, deeper search for existing work, with its queries, new nearest work and limits. The question and verdict stand. urn:uuid:96567422-e638-5946-b66f-23af544d2bca New research opportunity: RO-LD12-01 — How often do people use GDPR rights over automated decisions, and what happens? 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z After the Court of Justice's 2025 ruling that people subject to automated decisions are owed meaningful information about the procedure and principles actually applied, how many explanation and objection requests do data subjects make in a few high-exposure sectors (credit scoring, insurance, platform work), how do organizations answer them, and how many escalate to a data protection authority or court and with what outcome? urn:uuid:5b2495af-a8c7-5dda-ae6d-b6caaf2a8ef8 New research opportunity: RO-LD12-02 — How many staff and how much money do national AI Act enforcers actually have? 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z For each EU and EEA country, what staff numbers and budgets have been planned and actually provided for the authorities that enforce the AI Act, how do these compare with the tasks each authority has been given, and how do they compare with the resourcing of the same country's data protection authority? urn:uuid:4596fd39-7975-56ef-95f6-e5031c612ae7 New research opportunity: RO-LD12-03 — Did signing the EU's voluntary AI code change what model providers actually do? 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z Between before and after August 2025, did providers that signed the EU General-Purpose AI Code of Practice change their documented safety, transparency and copyright practices more than providers that signed only part of it or did not sign, when the same documents are scored with the same rubric over time? urn:uuid:effe064f-aca7-57ff-9241-5ab1005c7079 New research opportunity: RO-LD12-04 — China's AI filing register: how often are filings sent back, and whose models do apps use? 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z Using the successive public lists of filed generative-AI services and registered applications published by China's internet regulator, together with interviews with applicants and filing consultants, how often do filings go through rejection and rework before approval, how often do listed services later disappear, and how concentrated is the dependence of registered applications on a small number of filed base models? urn:uuid:861abb94-2c33-548d-84d7-4cae42736c4a New research opportunity: RO-LD12-05 — Are AI products withheld from Europe because of the AI Act, or because of other rules? 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z For AI products and features released between 2023 and 2028 by a broad set of providers (not only frontier labs), how often is availability in the EU delayed or withheld relative to the US, the UK and Switzerland, and do delays change at the dates when specific AI Act obligations become applicable and enforceable, separately from data-protection and competition-law events? urn:uuid:b8515dc2-8710-5dca-8e99-fdf0f7f8efc6 New research opportunity: RO-LD12-06 — Do AI hiring-audit rules cost small employers more than large ones? 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z Under New York City's bias-audit law for automated hiring tools, how do the costs and forms of compliance (commissioning an audit, relying on a vendor-supplied audit, narrowing the tool's use to fall outside the law, or doing nothing visible) differ by employer size, and do these differences favour large employers and large tool vendors? urn:uuid:b7e5f938-aab6-50fe-8f34-d6321dbed454 New debate: LD-12 v0.1 — Regulation-in-Practice: Rights, Compliance & Developmental Steering 2026-09-25T00:00:00Z What does AI regulation become after legislation is announced or enacted?
