Apple could unveil Gemini-powered Siri in Feb. The DOT's top lawyer said they'don't need the perfect rule' and that they just'want good enough.' The Trump administration is planning on using Google Gemini to draft important federal regulations, . This is starting with the Department of Transportation, according to interviews with agency staffers. Regulations created by the DOT help keep us safe when traveling.

Efforts to gut regulation across the US government using AI are well underway. On Wednesday, the Office of the Chief Information Officer at the Office of Management and Budget hosted a video call to discuss an AI tool being used to cut federal regulations, which the office called SweetREX Deregulation AI. The tool, which is still being developed, is built to identify sections of regulations that aren't required by statute, then expedite the process for adopting updated regulations. The development and rollout of what is being formally called the SweetREX Deregulation AI Plan Builder, or SweetREX DAIP, is meant to help achieve the goals laid out in President Donald Trump's "Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation" executive order, which aims to "promote prudent financial management and alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens." Industrial-scale deregulation is a core aim laid out in Project 2025, the document that has served as a playbook for the second Trump administration.

In this paper we present the results of an evaluation study of the perfor-mance of LLMs on Technical Language Processing tasks. Humans are often confronted with tasks in which they have to gather information from dispar-ate sources and require making sense of large bodies of text. These tasks can be significantly complex for humans and often require deep study including rereading portions of a text. Towards simplifying the task of gathering in-formation we evaluated LLMs with chat interfaces for their ability to provide answers to standard questions that a human can be expected to answer based on their reading of a body of text. The body of text under study is Title 47 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) which describes regula-tions for commercial telecommunications as governed by the Federal Com-munications Commission (FCC). This has been a body of text of interest be-cause our larger research concerns the issue of making sense of information related to Wireless Spectrum Governance and usage in an automated manner to support Dynamic Spectrum Access. The information concerning this wireless spectrum domain is found in many disparate sources, with Title 47 of the CFR being just one of many. Using a range of LLMs and providing the required CFR text as context we were able to quantify the performance of those LLMs on the specific task of answering the questions below.

Sam Altman, the CEO of artificial intelligence lab OpenAI, told a Senate panel he welcomes federal regulation on the technology "to mitigate" its risks. The panic to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) came almost immediately after last fall's release of ChatGPT popularized the technology with the public. Some industry insiders themselves called for a pause on development, highlighting that expertise in a field doesn't translate into proficiency in the perils of regulation. That appeal was followed by a White House AI Bill of Rights and an educational effort by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Fears about AI include job displacement, data security and privacy, misinformation, autonomous defense systems mistakes, discrimination and bias, and an existential threat to humanity itself. It's imperative to prove actual market failure before regulating and to make sure the costs of doing so don't outweigh the benefits.

Center for AI Safety Director Dan Hendrycks explains concerns about how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence could impact society. A federal agency is pondering whether artificial intelligence might someday be used to help the government identify duplicative or overly burdensome federal rules that need to be cut back. But officials are already hearing from skeptics who doubt AI will ever be powerful enough to wade through and understand the hundreds of thousands of pages of detailed federal rules. The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) is an independent federal agency that works to increase the efficiency and fairness of regulations. In early May, ACUS released a report it commissioned on how AI and other algorithmic tools might be used to conduct retrospective reviews of federal rules to improve them.

Sam Altman, the CEO of artificial intelligence lab OpenAI, told a Senate panel he welcomes federal regulation on the technology "to mitigate" its risks. The CEO of the company that delivered ChatGPT to the world said Tuesday he was not interested in becoming the federal government's top regulator of artificial intelligence technology. CEO Sam Altman and other witnesses at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee were asked what they would do to ensure the government has a firm grip on how AI is developed and deployed, and Altman said his first step would be to create a new federal agency. "I would form a new agency that licenses any effort above a certain scale of capabilities and can take that license away and ensure compliance with safety standards," he said in response to a question from Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, speaks during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, May 16, 2023.

Tom Newhouse, vice president of Convergence Media, discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence on elections after an RNC AI ad garnered attention. Republicans are less convinced than Democrats that the federal government needs to impose regulations on artificial intelligence systems and are even more skeptical on whether the government is up to the task, according to a new Fox News poll. The poll of registered voters shows a noticeable gap between the two parties on the question of whether and how to regulate AI, a sign that the increasingly important issue could get hung up in politics as it advances in Washington. When asked how important it is for the federal government to regulate AI, 82% of Democrats said "very" or "somewhat," compared to 71% of Republicans. That was one of the bigger splits in a poll that found 76% of respondents saw some importance to federal regulation.

This article is part of a series on AI for Boards of Directors. As AI grows in impact in the business world, the US Government is finally wading in to influence the future of regulation. Businesses have significant challenges effectively operating in a regulatory free-for-all world. Companies actually want some regulation. As mentioned in "Why Are Technology Companies Quitting Facial Recognition?", the providers of AI solutions want federal regulations because, in the absence of leadership at the federal level, states and municipalities will create those regulations.

On May 10, 40 advocacy groups sent an open letter demanding a permanent ban on the use of Amazon's facial recognition software, Rekognition, by US police. The letter was addressed to Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy, the company's current and incoming CEOs, and came just weeks before Amazon's year-long moratorium on sales to law enforcement was set to expire. The letter contrasted Bezos's and Jassy's vocal support of Black Lives Matter campaigners during last summer's racial justice protests after the murder of George Floyd with reporting that other Amazon products have been used by law enforcement to identify protesters. On May 17, Amazon announced it would extend its moratorium indefinitely, joining competitors IBM and Microsoft in self-regulated purgatory. The move is a nod at the political power of the groups fighting to curb the technology--and recognition that new legislative battle grounds are starting to emerge.
