I'm not aware of any government handouts for tech companies adding AI to their products, can you give an example, please?

The AI Workforce Training Act is closer to what OP was mentioning; the last paragraph of this article suggests more. https://fedscoop.com/ai-workforce-tax-credit-house-bill/

The Department of War is a customer, there's no handout here.
The government does procure services from private firms, this isn't new or special.
Uhh, the entire contract is a form of corporate welfare. So yes, the DoW giving money to these companies is a handout.
Just because it benefits them doesn't mean it's not a handout, especially when said money could be used elsewhere for purposes that actually benefit everyone and not a dozen people living in SF.
