This week a major US AI development flew under the radar - a US congressional commission, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) presented their annual report to congress.

Their number one recommendation was that Congress establish a "Manhattan Project-like program dedicated to racing to and acquiring an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) capability".

There's a lot to say about this, which I cover in the piece.

It's an awfully big logical stretch from "a report used the phrase Manhattan Project" to "AGI may be born secret." This is coming from someone who knew the relevant history/concept beforehand.

The word "may" is doing a great deal of work in your headline.
