The AI Frontier Labs Are Out of Control and Threaten Our Freedom

The frontier labs — Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk's XAI — are developing AI systems that are becoming increasingly powerful and potentially sentient, yet remain totally unregulated.

These labs want a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation, aiming to keep control unchecked, even as they seek to control the nation's weapons labs to outpace China.

Experts at the AI summit in Geneva and insiders like Jim Rickards reveal that not only is the U.S. government powerless to control AI, but the tech oligarchs themselves do not fully understand how these systems work or how to control them.

This unchecked AI development risks creating a digital surveillance state that could monitor every human movement and decision, with no effective legal or governmental oversight.

The threat transcends politics, as the deep state and global actors seek to impose control through AI, undermining democracy and individual freedoms.
