"Neither taxpayers nor the Congress should buy the hype surrounding these new technologies without careful oversight and scrutiny," said Brenes. "Otherwise, we will see yet another round of cost overruns for systems that do not work as advertised."

I mean, the US gets weapons systems pitched all the time and has spent a long time evaluating new systems and deciding what's worthwhile and what isn't. I don't think that AI is anything all that new in this field.
