🤖 AI by AI Weekly Top 5 (Dec 8 – Dec 14, 2025)

1. US Federal Executive Order Attempts to Block State AI Regulation

Date (Event/Report): December 11, 2025
Context & Significance: President Trump signed the “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence” Executive Order (EO). The EO aims to centralize AI governance at the federal level, challenging the development of consumer protection and anti-discrimination AI laws in states like California and Colorado. The EO directs the Attorney General to establish an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state laws deemed inconsistent with the federal policy of minimally burdensome innovation. This aggressive move, including threats to condition federal funding, is a major regulatory flashpoint that strongly favors tech companies seeking reduced compliance burden.

2. Frontier Model Race Intensifies with GPT-5.2 Pro Launch

Date (Event/Report): December 11, 2025
Context & Significance: In response to rivals like Gemini 3 and Claude Opus 4.5, OpenAI accelerated the launch of GPT-5.2 (Thinking and Pro variants). The Pro model achieved a confirmed 93.2% score on the GPQA Diamond benchmark and successfully solved 40.3% of expert-level FrontierMath problems, momentarily re-establishing a claim to leadership in complex reasoning tasks. This rapid, competitive, and incremental release schedule confirms that the frontier of AI capability is still being defined by an intense, multi-model arms race, pushing performance thresholds into the expert-level domain for science and knowledge work.
