The private sector is playing a leading role in advancing artificial intelligence (AI), with commercial incentives significantly influencing how AI capabilities develop and diffuse, impacting U.S. national security interests. These interests include enabling beneficial AI uses, limiting misuse risks, ensuring reliable system behavior, and maintaining strategic geopolitical advantage.
Despite this, national security stakeholders have paid limited attention to AI companies' commercialization strategies and market dynamics across the AI stack. This paper identifies potential future AI market scenarios and their implications for U.S. national security, aiming to align commercial incentives with national security goals. Variations in commercial strategies, particularly regarding end markets like enterprise or consumer use, affect demand for AI safety and security. Market concentration at infrastructure and model layers, potentially exacerbated by vertical integration, could erode government influence. Policymakers must leverage U.S. compute capabilities to shape AI's geographic distribution, use transparency and liability policies to align market demand for safety, and foster competitive, secure U.S. AI markets, including open-weight models, while managing risks from Chinese models.
