How this tracker works
An entry appears when one of our stories reports a fixed date ahead: a hearing, a legal deadline, a launch or a sales date. Below them, the days new AI rules start, from our AI rules checker, and dates from official sources: each was on the official page it links to on the day shown, and we check them again before they are near. Each date is the local day the source gives. Past dates drop off the list by themselves, and we add new ones with each edition.
Reusing this list: you may quote it with a link to this page. Facts belong to the sources each story cites.
