People with corporate experience can advise governments.
Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, led a multi-year project to develop a national AI strategy, https://www.nscai.gov/
> The Final Report presents the NSCAI’s strategy for winning the artificial intelligence era. The 16 chapters explain the steps the United States must take to responsibly use AI for national security and defense, defend against AI threats, and promote AI innovation. The accompanying Blueprints for Action provide detailed plans for the U.S. Government to implement the recommendations.
Obviously defence contractors are having a field day with all the budgets, it's not a surprise that made Palmer Luckey a billionaire. Pretty sure there are a ton of 'investments' in all kinds of defensive AI programs. You can bet the NSA has a lot of stuff that works very, very well. I mean there is a reason they are sitting on a chest full of zero-days or can crack a lot of everyday encryption schemes.
