The State of Artificial Intelligence

The Importance of getting AI Right

AI will be the most economic, political, social, cultural, historic, and personal technological advancements in human history. In the next 5 to 10 years, we are going to be seeing incredible discoveries based on the advent of Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) already being developed in many of the sciences. Our most prestigious federal and industry labs are working on applying AI models to super and quantum computers that will revolutionize the medical, military, labor force, and our personal lives. The U.S. Navy who has been leading the crusade in autonomy, has had many historic 'firsts' in the last decade. With Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), we are seeing a quick transition into programs like Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) where data fusion and big data can be leveraged to implement incredible advantages on the battlefield. As C2 (Command & Control) leverages or implements AI more, we will see an incredible ability to deter or combat threats to the United States.

The election was pivotal for many reasons as it largely decided what kind of AI the people of this nation will have - it was either going to be developed under a tyrannical Kamala regime or a Trump regime that will give the political power back to the people. Make no mistake, in 4 years under a Kamala regime, AI would have looked drastically different and something none of us would want.

For these reasons, it is incredibly important to get AI right. Unleashing innovation, leveraging federal and industry labs, and ensuring AI has adequate sandbox testing will prove critical especially in the next 4 years. Within the next year, we will see AI automation start to take a larger role in administrative, manufacturing, transportation, Large Language Models (LLMs), economics, and many other sectors of our society. It is imperative that we start implementing LLMs into government in order to make it less bureaucratic and remove the culture of overspending. There is currently a downward spiral in our federal government of overspending by subordinate agencies embellishing or exaggerating what they do or what they need in order to meet operational requirements - this must change. We propose a mass education of the federal workforce in AI to facilitate an understand of how to use it so that they might find suitable work outside of the government if there is a reduction in force or a schedule "F" implemented. Understanding AI tools and how to prompt LLMs provides incredible advantages to people in the workforce.

We are advocates of fast-tracking the implementation of AI into the federal government initially in auditing and reporting - this will provide the greatest quick oversight needed for Congress while reducing the workload of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and other government agencies whose job it is to audit or report to Congress. In this effort, we would propose to incrementally reduce the workforce so that federal employees might find suitable work while getting retrained in an expertise that would benefit the industry they might transfer to. As we transition to Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence, we will need AI managers and other personal to facilitate the societal change - the reduction in the federal workforce would be a great supplement to this effort due to the many years of experience and dependability they have provided to this nation.

We are entering an era in human history that is both exciting and dangerous. While American industry is making incredibly advancements in AI, we are also seeing the bad actors of the world trying to wield it for their own nefarious purposes. AI is poised to advance at almost an exponential rate in the next 4 to 6 years. Government across the world are clamoring on how to use it. Those nation-states who don't implement AI will be at incredible disadvantages to those that do. It is imperative that the United States shares AI with our allies who share our same values of free speech and a similar democracy. With the advent of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and advancements in Large Quantitative Models (LQMs), we will start to see amazing advancements in recursive research or AI that does research on its own. With the advancement of LLMs, LQMs, and quantum sensors, we will soon see research in areas that will dramatically affect the world population. AI is poised to dramatically effect areas of our economy like health, manufacturing, the labor market, computer vision (autonomy), and AI agents. With these advancements in AI, we will start to see industry provide military solutions for us that could create an era of AI deterrence with our peer adversaries. With all these advancements comes a great responsibility to ensure our representative government is not tyrannical, manipulative, or abusive. We understand and promote governments that offer the freedoms for their people that the United States have enjoyed since its conception.

We must ensure we maintain the vision of our founding fathers, which insisted and emphasized the importance of freedom of speech (no matter how offensive). We assert that the 1st Amendment is critical to maintaining a free society. We also recognize the movement to suppress or censorship our 1st Amendment through social media demonstrates a dangerous but obvious pattern of pushing policy hidden behind the guise of good intentions. We recognize that the motivation to ban "hate speech" is an attempt to implement tyrannical government. We recognize that Kamala and the extreme Left have currently married themselves to this destructive ideology and we are seeing the results of it firsthand from the United Kingdom and Ireland where thousands of people have been arrested for a comment or meme on social media. While seemingly noble and good, if we have learned anything from politicians - they will politicize this power to suppress speech that opposes their policies or platform. We further recognize and accept that the U.S. Supreme Court is the only judge and branch of the federal government that can define what free speech is - our Executive Branch cannot and must not.

The Industrial Revolution taught us much about technological advancements in human history. In Britain during the mid 17th century, we see the start of the industrial revolution. During this time, we see how the invention of the steam engine (1712) was leveraged in manufacturing and farming that dramatically changed the United States and Britain. The United States experienced industrialization between 1760 and about 1840 and it helped bring millions of people out of poverty. Because of these economic and societal advancements, Russia and China saw the need to industrialize their nations. Between about 1890 to mid 1930s, Russia saw their industrial revolution. China (under Mao) also had their industrial revolution between about 1958 and 1962 (The Great Leap Forward). Russia (under Stalin) instituted Collectivization, which resulted in 7 to 20 million deaths due to forced labor or people who died in labor camps. We even get the implementation of infanticide, which was the killing of new borne babies - mainly done due to starvation. China's Great Leap Forward saw between 30 and 45 million deaths from famine, execution, and forced labor.

There is a great need to acknowledge how these technological advancements caused tyrannical governments to perpetuate incredible harm to their citizens. We see the need to ensure the United States AI policy is rolled out in a way that may also incrementally benefit our peer competitors without putting the U.S. in harm when our kindness is taken advantage of. There is great economic value in an AI policy that is cooperative and mutually valued as a way to build relationships of trust. To ensure peace, the United States can find ways with previously adversarial nations to become mutually beneficial and advantageous to each other. With a logical, robust, and competent diplomacy, the United States can once again provide international stability while leveraging peace at home.

We recognize the need for the United States to adopt an AI deterrence policy that will complement our nuclear deterrence policy. This AI policy should be a defensive posture coupled with clear red lines and based on tit-for-tat AI models. A Tit-for-tat AI model will help ensure red lines are not crossed and that measured responses are deployed when they need to be. AI in the military is poised to replace human combatants and can be a force multiplier - if done responsible and competently, can ensure peace for many years.

AI must have guardrails and safeguards to ensure the most impressionable members of our society are not manipulated or harmed. In recent months we have seen staggering statistics of our youth which reflects a substantial increase in teen suicide and mental health problems. Congress must act to pass legislation that will ensure AI safety is implemented in corporations that deploy algorithms especially if it is exposed to children. Robust sandbox testing before algorithms are deployed coupled with regulatory controls is paramount.

Deploying AI or advanced technologies in the coming years will require responsible ethical people who are driven to promote the benefits of the people and not just corporations. We need honorable, truthful, and ethical people to work in technology so the benefits of people who live in the United States are enshrined and preserved.
