In 2025, the U.S. AI policy is characterized by a focus on enhancing global AI leadership, promoting human flourishing, and addressing the risks associated with AI, particularly regarding national security and the spread of misinformation.

• The Trump administration’s policy, established through Executive Order 14179, aims to remove barriers to American AI innovation and establish the U.S. as a global leader in AI. This includes revising and reissuing OMB memoranda to ensure efficient acquisition and governance of AI across the federal government.
• In the absence of comprehensive federal AI legislation, US states are actively shaping AI policy, with initiatives ranging from government AI use guidelines to consumer protection measures and studies on AI’s impact.

The increasingly human-like way people are engaging with language models

Artificial intelligence large language model (LLM) users say they often have human-like encounters with these tools; they say the models have personality traits that are both pleasing and dismaying. About half of Americans living in households earning less than $50,000 (53%) use the tools.

These are among the results gleaned in a national survey conducted in January 2025 by Elon University’s Imagining the Digital Future Center. ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are the most commonly used AI “brands.” Half of LLM users (49%) say the models they use are “smarter” than they are, including 26% who think their LLMs are “a lot smarter.” Some 54% say their use of LLMs has improved their productivity a lot or somewhat. Some 50% say their use of LLMs has improved their ability to learn new skills and concepts a lot or somewhat.

AI data centers are specialized facilities designed to handle the intense computational demands of artificial intelligence workloads, requiring high power, advanced cooling, and specialized infrastructure to support the training and deployment of AI models.

AI has the potential to revolutionize education by personalizing learning, providing students with around-the-clock support, and making learning more engaging. By addressing the challenges and using AI responsibly, educators can harness this powerful technology to create a more effective and equitable learning environment for all students.
