No one knows how US courts will rule on the growing list of AI copyright lawsuits. It will be a long road. Copyright law often takes decades to adapt to new technologies; for example, more than a decade passed from the launch of the pioneering file-sharing music software Napster until courts shut down the last file-sharing service.

In April 2024 Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin proposed a Schengen-like visa program with some of his ASEAN counterparts. Srettha’s plan envisages a single or common visa area for the mainland ASEAN states of Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
