This week a major US AI development flew under the radar - a US congressional commission, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) presented their annual report to congress.
Their number one recommendation was that Congress establish a "Manhattan Project-like program dedicated to racing to and acquiring an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) capability".
There's a lot to say about this, which I cover in the piece.

The word "may" is doing a great deal of work in your headline.
