American Power Extra: When AI Becomes National Security

July 17, 2026·16 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens if America's biggest AI companies become too important to fail? In this American Power Extra, Chad Scott explores why Washington may be preparing to treat artificial intelligence as critical national infrastructure, what that could mean for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, and whether government investment in AI blurs the line between free markets and state power. Plus, why the race with China could redefine capitalism, national security, and the future of American technological leadership. We’re always looking for new opportunities to partner with creators, companies, politicians, and organizations that share our mission.
