AI Now Institute criticizes big tech's 'grift' for unlimited government AI infrastructure support

The AI Now Institute argues that major AI companies are leveraging national security concerns and historical analogies like the Apollo program to justify massive, unconditional government investment in AI infrastructure. They contend that this 'arms-race logic' frames any corporate oversight as unpatriotic and detrimental to progress. However, the institute cautions that promoting national monopolies through such support does not guarantee national competitiveness, sustainable jobs, or broad economic benefits, often leading to concentrated wealth for a few rather than widespread renewal.
