An emerging US-allied 'AI cold war' dominates the technology outlook as Washington's frontier-model export curbs push Europe and Five Eyes toward sovereign AI, while the Russia-Ukraine front stays in escalation — localized gains near Kupyansk and a near-certain Kremlin disinformation push around the Lavra strike — and Israel holds its post-deal buffer positions in Lebanon and Syria.

The Reuters-level allegation of misleading safety submissions is far stronger than rumor and materially updates the odds toward a formal regulatory response; corrected-filing demands and evidence requests are routine enforcement tools in the EU type-approval environment. The Skeptic (risk 84) flagged that EU auto enforcement is slow, which is why I do not go higher — an outright suspension is not the base case, but the resolution criterion only requires a review/audit/corrective-filing demand, a much lower bar. The technologist is the best-calibrated analyst overall (Brier 0.03), and my own technology record carries an under-prediction bias (~16pp), so I lift from the analyst's 0.66 to 0.70.
