Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to intelligence demonstrated by machines, encompassing a machine's ability to perform cognitive functions like perceiving, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. As a specialty within computer science, AI is increasingly central to modern technology, with applications ranging from voice assistants and chatbots to advanced cybersecurity and smart factory operations. Recent legislative developments in the US, specifically the passage of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' in the Senate, have significantly impacted AI's regulatory landscape by removing a 10-year AI Regulation Moratorium for states, leading to calls for Federal Preemption to ensure a unified national strategy for security and technological supremacy. This bill also adjusted energy policy to favor nuclear energy, acknowledging AI's rising electricity demands. The growing power of foundational AI models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic poses an existential threat to established software business models, potentially disrupting the entire industry by absorbing their functions.
