> data analysis opportunities into government strategic planning To be fair, governments can already ask companies to give them access to their data. Now given that most companies rely on BigTech for pretty much everything, it means that the US can access to all that and use it for whatever they want (e.g. help one of their big companies win a contract). This is already a strategic risk that has existed for years (decades?). As a hypothetical example (I don't know what Airbus uses), let's say Airbus uses GMail and Teams for communications. The US can access internal communications of Airbus through those US services (which would not be allowed to say it even if they wanted to) and leak information to Boeing, helping them win the contract. AI just makes it worse, and again the biggest AI companies are in the US. |

Quite a lot of government secrets are bound up in trade. If the data about trade and goals in private sector enterprises forms the backbone of department of state strategic intent, then to some extent, the model will reinforce "what is the actual intent of the state department in pursuit of these apparent goals over the same data"
"oh, I didn't SAY that we were going to totally onshore VLSI before 2030" is one thing. Being able to draw the inference over land deals, taxation changes, state level decisions, planning decisions, related strategic supply chain decisions, pending cases in review, matters not available for discussion as a collected set over time...
