It's a surveillance state - cloud computing relationship with sucking up data is tied with AI. Training large models creates a use case where cloud providers make profits on the compute needed to run the training and testing computations.
This profit motive results in an intense, insatiable hunger for data, which is needed to add on onto the training heap they can crank through their machine. All pretenses at privacy, ethics, or even a need for AI to do anything useful will slip away in deference to this data hunger.
As long as AI is treated as a magical solution that can do anything, this will persist. In this case, it is considered a machine that magically provides legal justification for military action. It is insanely destructive.

Coming to us all soon. As Antony Loewenstein has written, Israel will develop it by killing Palestinians and then sell it to the rest of the world as 'battle tested'.
