What’s happening in AI right now

The global race for AI control takes a new turn

Current regulations face reversal

The Department of Homeland Security just released what many view as the Biden administration's final major AI policy action - comprehensive security guidance for critical infrastructure that industry experts expect to be dismantled under new leadership. The rollback of Biden-era AI regulations appears imminent, with industry leaders anticipating a dramatic shift toward a more innovation-friendly environment that prioritizes American competitiveness over regulatory oversight.

Industry shapes the transition?

Tech companies aren't waiting for the change in administration to begin influencing policy direction. Software alliance BSA, representing major tech companies, has already issued detailed recommendations calling for a review of existing AI regulations and advocating for a streamlined national AI law. The push for industry-friendly policies has gained such momentum that a new advocacy group launched a petition campaign to install Elon Musk as Trump's special adviser on artificial intelligence, shortly before Musk was tapped to co-head DOGE.

States and industry prepare

As federal oversight perhaps loosens, both states and industries are positioning themselves for the new landscape. Massachusetts just approved a $3.96 billion economic development bill with $103 million designated for AI technologies, while the data center industry anticipates major changes in energy regulations and construction deregulation that could accelerate development.

China competition takes center stage

Perhaps the clearest signal of Trump's likely approach comes from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's proposed recommendations for a Manhattan Project-style AI initiative. This aligns with Trump's expected strategy of prioritizing U.S. competitiveness and national security over regulation, potentially including strengthened chip export restrictions and increased pressure for domestic semiconductor production.

Reshaping government through AI

The transformation extends beyond just regulation. A proposed Department of Government Efficiency, backed by Elon Musk, aims to use AI to modernize federal operations while reducing bureaucracy. This initiative, combined with the expected shift toward federal preemption of state-level AI regulations, suggests a comprehensive reimagining of how government approaches artificial intelligence - emphasizing streamlined national standards over the current patchwork of federal and state regulations.

This more comprehensive transformation of AI policy aligns with the broader goal of maintaining American technological leadership through reduced regulation and increased competitiveness, particularly against China. The emphasis on efficiency and innovation over regulatory caution marks a stark departure from the current administration's approach, setting the stage for a significant shift in how the United States governs artificial intelligence development.

One of the holy grails of unlocking the potential of AI is to build systems that can reason like humans. By improving AI's, Large Language Models in particular, ability to break down complex problems and apply logical steps.

Bagel’s research team has been exploring this problem. Analyzing LLM building techniques, especially fine-tuning techniques, to allow Large Language Models to evolve from pattern-recognizing prediction agents to true cognitive agents
