The terms for using an actor's face and voice
Using an actor's face and voice with AI is a filmmaking choice when there is consent and misappropriation when there is not. This map sets side by side cases of de-aging and misuse, the Tokyo District Court's first ruling that the voice is protected by the right of publicity, guidance from Japan's Ministry of Justice, the voice clause in Korea's Unfair Competition Prevention Act and digital DNA registration, and points to the requirements that remain unsettled.
The fourteen satellites Nuri placed in orbit on its fifth launch
On its fifth launch on October 7, Nuri (KSLV-II) placed five micro-satellites from a constellation and nine cubesats into their target orbit. It was South Korea's first satellite constellation launch, sending five national satellites with the same mission into orbit at once, while nine of the ten accompanying cubesats also reached orbit. Statements from the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA), the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and KAIST provide the basis for this account of the satellites' missions, separation procedures, contact sequence and the transfer of launch operations to the private sector.
No firing on AI alone: the four lines California drew around workplace AI
On September 30, 2026, California's governor signed a set of bills regulating AI used at work. They ban discipline and firing based solely on AI, surveillance that reads emotions or neural data, and monitoring in restrooms. When AI causes a mass layoff, the notice must say so. Only the government can enforce these laws, and workers cannot sue on their own.
Where short-form drama viewers flocked as their numbers tripled
In August this year, 2.98 million Koreans used short-form drama apps, 3.3 times the number a year earlier, and 8 of the top 10 apps were Chinese-affiliated. Separate branches cover the apps attracting viewers, Korean platforms that expanded overseas first, Korean production companies entering as suppliers, and low production costs. Revenue and revenue sharing that have yet to be disclosed are grouped in another branch.
Conditions, not login rewards: reading the EU KIDS Act's game provisions
The EU KIDS Act, the proposed regulation on protecting minors online released by the European Commission on September 17, brings together the obligations of game providers in Article 15. Separate branches cover the wording of Article 9(2)(b) and (d), which Article 15 applies, and interpretations of login streak rewards and come-back notifications based on those provisions. Matters for which numerical thresholds have yet to be set are grouped in a separate branch.
KTX and SRT: The path to one booking platform
High-speed rail services previously operated separately by Korail and SR were unified this year. Trial runs in February and May were followed by merger approval and the launch of the integrated app Korail+ on August 3, then integrated train services on September 1. From October, tickets will go on sale two months before departure. This briefing traces the changes to fares, seats, membership migration and booking methods through announcements from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Korail.
Before an SMR Reaches the Grid
Kairos Power announced on September 21 that it had signed an investment term sheet with Samsung C&T. The package is up to $100 million across direct investment and in-kind services, and it goes toward completing Hermes 2, a 50 MW demonstration reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The map lays out the gates a small modular reactor passes before it produces power, from reactor type, construction permit and demonstration plant to power buyers, the split of construction work and financial close, drawing on public material from both companies and from projects in Sweden and Romania.
Korea's AI Music Registration, Reversed in 22 Days
On whether a song made with AI can be registered, the standard at Korea's music copyright society moved from hold to allowed to withdrawn from March 2025 onward. The new rule lasted 22 days, and songs that completed registration inside that window go through cancellation. Follow the dates the decisions travelled and what is still undecided comes into view.
