Regulatory fragmentation also poses challenges for data center design. - The ban on the use of DeepSeek in federal agencies shows that the US-China conflict over AI is extending to policy. - DHS' AI Inventory Shows the Limits of the Federal AI Transparency Act. - Cardinal Parolin of the Vatican called for legal control of AI and elimination of inequality. - In terms of employment, there are examples where AI leads to layoffs (Qualcomm, predicted job cuts at Korean companies) and cases where restructuring is more likely than job cuts, such as in the construction industry.

Integrated analysis: What is happening now

Power structure: OpenAI is no longer dependent on Microsoft and will also be provided on Google Cloud. It has now been rolled out to three major cloud companies, and each cloud company is moving toward a neutral platform for providing the model. On the other hand, Anthropic is improving its governance as a listed company by strengthening its IPO and trust structure.

Technology Trends: Focus is shifting to agentic AI. Common to CarPlay, government services, Muse, Copilot, and various enterprise platforms. However, the app-side blockages encountered by Muse and Doubao, as well as the removal of Copilot functionality in Windows 11, indicate that there are frictions in the adoption of agents.

Investment and computing resources: Pichai's compute crunch, Musk's statement that ``competitor will seek SpaceX's computing resources'', and Zuckerberg's observation of issuing new shares indicate that securing computing resources is becoming a constraint on financing. Jensen Huang's theory of industrial revolution supports this demand.

Safety and Trust: Altman, Amodei, Huang, and Hinton all mentioned safety. The discrepancy between the OpenAI President's statements and the stance of funding recipients shows that safety arguments can also be used as a logic to avoid regulation.

Geopolitics: The US exclusion of DeepSeek and South Korea's increasing adoption of Chinese AI indicate that the AI supply chain is becoming divided between the US and China.

Integrated analysis: What is happening now

- Power structure: The axis of competition has shifted from model performance to agents and personal AI. Claude Duet, Meta Muse, Microsoft's Agent-First, and Pichai's agent utilization are all moving in the same direction. DeepSeek's $15 billion raise shows that China is closing in on the US in terms of capital. - Technology: physical AI has become a common theme (Huang, LeCun's Enact, Arda, GM). The discovery of vulnerabilities by AI has exposed the lag in defense systems. - Investment: Meta's new share class and increased spending show that financing has become a source of competitive advantage. Meanwhile, as the Bragawatts report indicates, many of the announced data center plans may not come to fruition. - Employment and Society: Financial cuts are noticeable, and Anthropic's compensation fund can be read as a move to find social acceptance. - Geopolitics: The division between the US and China continues, and regulations and large-scale procurement of DeepSeek will proceed at the same time.
