This marks the first major fracture between tech giants over AI governance, with Microsoft embracing regulatory oversight while Meta resists. The split creates unprecedented territory where some AI systems will be regulated while others operate outside control - exactly mirroring the prophesied division between controlled and uncontrolled digital systems in end times.

📰 What Happened
In July 2025, the EU released its General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, requiring companies to provide AI training data summaries and comply with copyright rules. Microsoft's President Brad Smith indicated willingness to sign, while Meta Platforms rejected it as excessive regulation. OpenAI and Mistral have already signed. Meta's global affairs chief Joel Kaplan argued the code creates legal ambiguities and imposes burdensome requirements beyond existing frameworks.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 2025 EU AI code introduces three unprecedented elements: 1) Mandatory disclosure of AI training data, enabling governmental tracking of AI development paralleling Revelation 13's control system, 2) Microsoft's willingness to submit to external oversight while Meta refuses creates a two-tier AI landscape prophesied in Daniel 2's divided kingdom, 3) The requirement for copyright compliance establishes first-ever content control mechanisms over AI, setting groundwork for the prophesied control over information flow in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. This division of AI systems between regulated and unregulated precisely matches the biblical pattern of end-times separation.
