Neil Chilson criticizes the secret process by which the government gains early access to cutting-edge AI tools, potentially with veto power over public use. He argues that while benchmarks may need classification, the program's workings should be transparent. Secrecy invites abuse, rules shift with administrations, and national security focus may harm economic growth. He urges Congress to legislate publicly.
