EDITORIAL NOTES (not rendered):
1. The following items were previously in this subsection but have been moved out of Federal Authorities because they are news about industry or executive-branch activity rather than AI-specific federal authorities. Consider relocating them to a federal news/timeline page:
  - News-Google-MS-xAI-CAISI-Early-Model-Access-May-2026 (now linked from CAISI entry above)
  - News-April-30-2026 (White House opposes Anthropic Mythos)
  - News-Pentagon-AI-Chief-Google-2026
2. Redlinks ([[like this]]) mark AI authorities that warrant their own wiki pages but do not yet exist. Priority for stub creation: TAKE IT DOWN Act, EO 14179, December 11, 2025 EO, NIST AI RMF, CAISI.


3. Items flagged as AI-adjacent rather than strictly AI-specific (e.g., data center permitting EO, NDAA provisions) are noted in their entries. Consider adding an explicit scope-standard page for the wiki's editorial line on what counts as "specifically targeting AI."
