What happened
Summary
两个消息源透露，NSA 在闭门简报中告诉国会议员，今年光是用纳税人的钱评估和测试先进 AI 模型就花了几十亿美元。这个数字比外界之前知道的要高得多，导致议员们估算，要建一套完整的联邦 AI 监管体系，每年可能要花掉几百亿美元。文章没提具体在测哪些模型、用的是谁的算力，也没说这笔钱怎么拆分的。特朗普目前基本顶住了加强联邦 AI 监管的压力。

Two sources say the NSA told lawmakers in a classified briefing that it is spending billions in taxpayer money this year to evaluate and test advanced AI models. The figure is far higher than previously known, leading lawmakers to estimate a full federal AI regulatory system could cost tens of billions per year. Trump has mostly resisted stronger federal AI oversight. The article does not name which models are being tested, whose compute is used, or how the money breaks down.
