Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Digital Bias | Allen Jackson Now | April 16, 2026

Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
00:00:04.963 --> 00:00:07.065
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:07.065 --> 00:00:08.500
I'm going to begin with what may be
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:10.068
A stunning revelation to a lot of people.
00:00:10.068 --> 00:00:12.437
Almost everyone in the country is already using ai,
00:00:12.437 --> 00:00:15.974
Whether they realize it or not.
00:00:15.974 --> 00:00:18.343
You heard me correctly.
00:00:18.343 --> 00:00:19.411
A.i. is up and running, and whether you subscribe.
00:00:19.411 --> 00:00:22.714
Ai is influencing
00:00:22.714 --> 00:00:23.882
More and more of what we do and what we learn.
00:00:23.882 --> 00:00:27.085
Now it can be a very useful resource,
00:00:27.085 --> 00:00:29.254
But it's not quite as objective
00:00:29.254 --> 00:00:30.922
Or purely factual as you might think.
00:00:30.922 --> 00:00:33.959
Here's some context.
00:00:33.959 --> 00:00:35.393
Think of the time pre-internet.
00:00:35.393 --> 00:00:36.995
We used to go to the library
00:00:36.995 --> 00:00:38.196
To do research, and when everything we read,
00:00:38.196 --> 00:00:40.232
Whether it was
00:00:40.232 --> 00:00:40.932
Into the encyclopedia britannica
00:00:40.932 --> 00:00:42.200
Or we pulled from the library of congress,
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.469
Would have been written
00:00:44.469 --> 00:00:45.570
By someone who may or may not have had an agenda.
00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.473
But that wasn't even something we thought about.
00:00:48.473 --> 00:00:51.042
Well, the same thing is true when we research using google,
00:00:51.042 --> 00:00:54.079
Bing, or yahoo, because all that material
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.681
Was also written at some point by someone we don't even know.
00:00:56.681 --> 00:01:00.585
You see where i'm heading?
00:01:01.153 --> 00:01:02.287
I might stand for artificial intelligence,
00:01:02.287 --> 00:01:05.157
But it's only called artificial because it's built by merging
00:01:05.157 --> 00:01:08.426
What's already been researched,
00:01:08.426 --> 00:01:10.328
And it's no more intelligent than what
00:01:10.328 --> 00:01:11.796
It's previously been discovered.
00:01:11.796 --> 00:01:13.865
The person who decides what goes into ai processors
00:01:13.865 --> 00:01:17.235
Now have control over
00:01:17.235 --> 00:01:18.370
What comes out of the ai request,
00:01:18.370 --> 00:01:20.739
And that's not the person who did the original fact finding.
00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:23.942
That's why we all need to read the warning labels on ai.
00:01:23.942 --> 00:01:27.145
The small print, you know, the small print that says,
00:01:27.145 --> 00:01:29.514
Hey, ai generated content may be inaccurate or misleading,
00:01:29.514 --> 00:01:33.251
Or the content is for informational purposes
00:01:33.251 --> 00:01:35.620
And does not constitute medical, legal or financial advice.
00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:39.558
In other words, use at your own risk.
00:01:39.558 --> 00:01:42.327
It's an impressive tool, but it's also a product
00:01:42.327 --> 00:01:44.829
That very few companies and countries have control over.
00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:48.967
And those who win, well,
00:01:48.967 --> 00:01:50.468
They started to make a fortune on it.
00:01:50.468 --> 00:01:52.604
So common sense tells me that we all will be much better off,
00:01:52.604 --> 00:01:55.740
And we understand who's behind it and what they're up to.
00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:59.644
You know, i've said many times
00:02:00.245 --> 00:02:01.313
That there are waves of deception
00:02:01.313 --> 00:02:03.281
That are just crashing over our lives in this season,
00:02:03.281 --> 00:02:06.318
And the confusion i see regarding our president,
00:02:06.318 --> 00:02:09.588
Even in the body of christ right now, is staggering to me.
00:02:09.588 --> 00:02:12.991
You know,
00:02:13.291 --> 00:02:14.359
I have to say that while it makes me uncomfortable
00:02:14.359 --> 00:02:15.560
Sometimes to watch some of the interactions
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.429
With the president and his adversaries,
00:02:17.429 --> 00:02:19.598
Or maybe some of the language used in his social media post,
00:02:19.598 --> 00:02:22.867
The response from christians.
00:02:22.867 --> 00:02:24.502
Well, that's been just as confounding to me.
00:02:24.502 --> 00:02:27.138
It's as if there are people who seem more excited
00:02:27.138 --> 00:02:29.307
About finding something to criticize the president
00:02:29.307 --> 00:02:31.476
About than seeing our country succeed.
00:02:31.476 --> 00:02:34.779
You know, instead of acknowledging progress,
00:02:34.779 --> 00:02:36.781
They sit back and they wait for the next supposed
00:02:36.781 --> 00:02:38.783
Misstep by the president, whether it's real or imagined,
00:02:38.783 --> 00:02:42.320
The selective outrage or it seems to me to be
00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:44.623
Just patently absurd.
00:02:44.623 --> 00:02:46.558
This is the same group that went silent when,
00:02:46.558 --> 00:02:48.593
During the last administration, president biden issued
00:02:48.593 --> 00:02:51.630
A proclamation declaring march 31st, 2024
00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:55.333
As transgender day of visibility.
00:02:55.333 --> 00:02:58.570
For those of us
00:02:58.937 --> 00:02:59.771
Who abide by a biblical worldview,
00:02:59.771 --> 00:03:01.239
That should have prompted outrage,
00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:03.675
But it's much worse than that.
00:03:03.675 --> 00:03:04.943
March 31st, 2024.
00:03:04.943 --> 00:03:06.811
That was also easter sunday.
00:03:06.811 --> 00:03:08.947
Yet i didn't hear an uproar coming from the church
00:03:08.947 --> 00:03:11.416
On that day and that announcement.
00:03:11.416 --> 00:03:13.718
Well, because trump is loud
00:03:13.718 --> 00:03:14.819
And he doesn't carry himself like a church elder,
00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:17.455
We're offended at him.
00:03:17.455 --> 00:03:18.990
Yeah, joe biden was incompetent.
00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:20.558
Every day he was in the white house.
00:03:20.558 --> 00:03:22.427
There was no outrage around that.
00:03:22.427 --> 00:03:24.496
They told us that we had to be
00:03:24.496 --> 00:03:25.730
Kind, understanding and compassionate.
00:03:25.730 --> 00:03:28.833
And now more is coming out about what
00:03:28.833 --> 00:03:30.402
Took place during the biden administration.
00:03:30.402 --> 00:03:32.671
A new justice department report is raising serious allegations
00:03:32.671 --> 00:03:36.074
That the federal government, during the biden era, targeted
00:03:36.074 --> 00:03:39.177
A specific group of americans, pro-life americans.
00:03:39.177 --> 00:03:43.548
We're talking about families, people
00:03:43.548 --> 00:03:45.350
Attending pro-life events.
00:03:45.350 --> 00:03:47.285
And according to this report, federal authorities
00:03:47.285 --> 00:03:49.688
Were gathering personal data on them,
00:03:49.688 --> 00:03:52.057
Not just on individuals, but on their spouses,
00:03:52.057 --> 00:03:54.826
Even their children.
00:03:54.826 --> 00:03:56.461
Documents discovered, including christian pro-lifers
00:03:56.461 --> 00:03:59.731
Being referred to by federal prosecutors as culty.
00:03:59.731 --> 00:04:04.102
The biden era prosecutors even wrote how upset they were
00:04:04.102 --> 00:04:06.938
That a catholic magistrate judge had taken up one of the cases.
00:04:06.938 --> 00:04:11.543
The biden doj also sought longer prison sentences
00:04:11.543 --> 00:04:14.979
Against pro-lifers, who were charged
00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:16.648
With gathering outside abortion clinics under the face act.
00:04:16.648 --> 00:04:20.752
Many of them were simply praying and protesting peacefully.
00:04:20.752 --> 00:04:24.556
On average, biden prosecutors sought over 26 months in prison
00:04:24.556 --> 00:04:28.426
For pro-life defendants,
00:04:28.426 --> 00:04:30.128
Compared with only 12 months on average for unruly
00:04:30.128 --> 00:04:32.764
Pro-abortion defendants.
00:04:32.764 --> 00:04:35.233
President trump, on his third day in office, signed pardons
00:04:35.233 --> 00:04:37.936
For 23 pro-lifers convicted of face act violations
00:04:37.936 --> 00:04:41.339
Under the prior administration,
00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:43.274
Many of whom he said were elderly
00:04:43.274 --> 00:04:45.009
And should not have been prosecuted.
00:04:45.009 --> 00:04:47.512
Here's another example the biden era cia intelligence
00:04:47.512 --> 00:04:50.615
Assessment was recently released to the public,
00:04:50.615 --> 00:04:53.685
And the report identified, and i quote, racially
00:04:53.685 --> 00:04:56.488
And ethnically motivated, violent extremist.
00:04:56.488 --> 00:04:59.924
Well, who are these extremists targeted in the report?
00:04:59.924 --> 00:05:03.528
They were women who applauded.
00:05:03.528 --> 00:05:05.296
And i quote again, motherhood and homemaking
00:05:05.296 --> 00:05:08.500
As their most important responsibility.
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:11.202
The news about the reference to motherhood and homemaking.
00:05:11.202 --> 00:05:14.139
Well, it comes three years
00:05:14.139 --> 00:05:15.306
After the biden era fbi faced criticism
00:05:15.306 --> 00:05:18.376
For circulating a memo labeling radical, traditional catholics
00:05:18.376 --> 00:05:23.181
And putting them in the same category.
00:05:23.181 --> 00:05:24.816
As, i quote
00:05:24.816 --> 00:05:25.950
Racially and ethnically motivated domestic extremist.
00:05:25.950 --> 00:05:29.788
Well, i would
00:05:30.155 --> 00:05:31.122
Suggest the church needs perhaps to wake up.
00:05:31.122 --> 00:05:33.658
We must become more astute consumers of information.
00:05:33.658 --> 00:05:37.228
We have to shine, but to stand for the truth, to search for it,
00:05:37.228 --> 00:05:40.632
Because the solution to society's ills.
00:05:40.632 --> 00:05:43.034
It's not political, folks.
00:05:43.034 --> 00:05:44.669
It's spiritual.
00:05:44.669 --> 00:05:46.104
If we have a faith that is only historical,
00:05:46.104 --> 00:05:48.640
We have a theoretical faith,
00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:50.175
And we won't flourish in this current season.
00:05:50.175 --> 00:05:52.677
We must have a faith that is living and vital,
00:05:52.677 --> 00:05:55.747
A faith that requires
00:05:55.747 --> 00:05:56.881
Situational awareness of the world we're living in.
00:05:56.881 --> 00:05:59.784
And among all the chaos and confusion of a busy news cycle,
00:05:59.784 --> 00:06:03.254
And with the media framing the mainstream
00:06:03.254 --> 00:06:05.290
Narrative on what we as viewers should focus on.
00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:08.460
I think it's important that we take a step back
00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:10.862
And appreciate the season we're in
00:06:10.862 --> 00:06:12.997
And even the opportunities that are ahead
00:06:12.997 --> 00:06:15.834
With all that.
00:06:16.167 --> 00:06:17.001
Let me say that it's an exciting time,
00:06:17.001 --> 00:06:19.137
But one we need to be ready for.
00:06:19.137 --> 00:06:20.972
Not everyone behind.
00:06:20.972 --> 00:06:21.940
I has your best intentions in mind.
00:06:21.940 --> 00:06:24.476
In a moment, we'll be joined by wynton hall.
00:06:24.476 --> 00:06:26.845
He's a distinguished fellow
00:06:26.845 --> 00:06:28.079
At the government accountability institute,
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.315
And he's the author of a new book
00:06:30.315 --> 00:06:31.549
That explains what to watch out for.
00:06:31.549 --> 00:06:33.585
It's called code red
00:06:33.585 --> 00:06:34.886
The left, the right, china and the race to control ai.
00:06:34.886 --> 00:06:38.690
I'll be right back.
00:06:39.157 --> 00:06:45.004
I'll be right back.
00:06:45.004 --> 00:06:50.269
Welcome back.
00:06:50.636 --> 00:06:51.537
And get ready for some insights.
00:06:51.537 --> 00:06:53.138
They're going to open your eyes to the hope
00:06:53.138 --> 00:06:55.341
And the threat of artificial intelligence.
00:06:55.341 --> 00:06:57.676
Joining me tonight, the distinguished fellow
00:06:57.676 --> 00:06:59.812
At the government accountability institute, winton hall.
00:06:59.812 --> 00:07:02.882
Thanks for coming on with us today.
00:07:02.882 --> 00:07:05.184
It's great to be with you, pastor.
00:07:05.184 --> 00:07:06.452
Thanks for having me.
00:07:06.452 --> 00:07:07.686
You spent more than two years investigating ai,
00:07:07.686 --> 00:07:10.222
And i want to jump right in with something you said about it.
00:07:10.222 --> 00:07:12.791
And i quote, big tech is quietly hardcoding left wing ideology
00:07:12.791 --> 00:07:17.129
Into the algorithms that now govern daily life.
00:07:17.129 --> 00:07:20.466
We'll get into the specifics, but please start right
00:07:20.466 --> 00:07:22.635
There, giving us an overview of what you found.
00:07:22.635 --> 00:07:25.704
Yeah, one of the most
00:07:26.205 --> 00:07:27.239
Shocking revelations is when you do a deep dive
00:07:27.239 --> 00:07:29.909
Into even peer reviewed academic literature
00:07:29.909 --> 00:07:32.878
That generally leans left,
00:07:32.878 --> 00:07:34.547
You find that
00:07:34.547 --> 00:07:35.648
There is a consensus that large language models, lms
00:07:35.648 --> 00:07:38.584
Or ai chat bots have a demonstrable left leaning
00:07:38.584 --> 00:07:43.122
Bias politically, and so it's not a random occurrence.
00:07:43.122 --> 00:07:47.860
This is something that is baked in.
00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:49.828
And the reason why is because of the training data.
00:07:49.828 --> 00:07:52.364
It is training from things
00:07:52.364 --> 00:07:53.732
Like reddit, wikipedia, the left leaning academic sources.
00:07:53.732 --> 00:07:57.803
And so you have this system that's got the bias baked
00:07:57.803 --> 00:08:01.473
In, unfortunately.
00:08:01.473 --> 00:08:03.509
Well, peter schweitzer is the guy president.
00:08:03.509 --> 00:08:05.945
He says that your research shows both a promising
00:08:05.945 --> 00:08:08.347
And a terrifying new world that we're heading into.
00:08:08.347 --> 00:08:11.550
One of the things you report is the massive delta
00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:14.153
Between the small number of people
00:08:14.153 --> 00:08:15.521
Who know how to
00:08:15.521 --> 00:08:16.689
Build the ai versus the size of the global population,
00:08:16.689 --> 00:08:20.059
About 150,000 people know what's in the black box of ai,
00:08:20.059 --> 00:08:23.495
And they can influence 8 billion people.
00:08:23.495 --> 00:08:26.732
That's disturbing,
00:08:26.732 --> 00:08:27.933
Especially if they don't have our best interest in mind.
00:08:27.933 --> 00:08:30.836
In my reading that correctly,
00:08:30.836 --> 00:08:32.838
You absolutely are.
00:08:33.305 --> 00:08:34.506
And it is disturbing, particularly
00:08:34.506 --> 00:08:36.208
When you really listen to what
00:08:36.208 --> 00:08:37.977
Their ideology many of these folks do not share our values.
00:08:37.977 --> 00:08:42.014
They have a very different vision of what they want
00:08:42.014 --> 00:08:44.717
Technology to do, in many cases to transcend humans
00:08:44.717 --> 00:08:49.388
And to reach what they call transhumanism
00:08:49.388 --> 00:08:52.024
And the singularity, which is this idea of the fusion
00:08:52.024 --> 00:08:55.861
And merging of machine and human.
00:08:55.861 --> 00:08:58.764
And they also think that they can ascend, play god
00:08:58.764 --> 00:09:01.967
In many ways, both in terms of the dominance
00:09:01.967 --> 00:09:04.370
Of what information flows out there,
00:09:04.370 --> 00:09:06.639
What people are having access to,
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.707
And their ability to control
00:09:08.707 --> 00:09:10.175
And censor information that they do not find, agreeable.
00:09:10.175 --> 00:09:14.079
So there is a lot of power
00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:15.648
And very few hands, and that always is reason for alarm.
00:09:15.648 --> 00:09:20.285
Well, the initial
00:09:20.719 --> 00:09:21.887
Ai horror stories have been about jobs being replaced.
00:09:21.887 --> 00:09:24.957
Some of the comments by elon musk are fueling those fears.
00:09:24.957 --> 00:09:28.460
Listen to what he said.
00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:30.729
The rate at which ai is progressing,
00:09:30.729 --> 00:09:33.766
I think
00:09:33.766 --> 00:09:35.868
Where we might have an ai
00:09:35.868 --> 00:09:38.804
That is smarter than any human by the end of this year.
00:09:38.804 --> 00:09:42.174
And i would say no later than next year.
00:09:42.174 --> 00:09:44.209
Well,
00:09:44.209 --> 00:09:46.512
And then probably by 2030
00:09:46.512 --> 00:09:48.814
Or 20, 31, four, five years from now,
00:09:48.814 --> 00:09:52.317
I will be sworn in then,
00:09:52.851 --> 00:09:55.287
All of humanity collectively.
00:09:55.287 --> 00:09:57.823
You know, he also said that machines
00:09:57.823 --> 00:09:59.591
Might outnumber humans by the year 2040.
00:09:59.591 --> 00:10:02.728
Does that seem possible to you?
00:10:02.728 --> 00:10:05.597
It does.
00:10:05.597 --> 00:10:06.532
And what i really want people to understand
00:10:06.532 --> 00:10:08.367
Is that we often hear people say ai is just a tool.
00:10:08.367 --> 00:10:11.704
It is a tool.
00:10:11.704 --> 00:10:12.705
But it's not just a tool. it's political power.
00:10:12.705 --> 00:10:15.641
And it's going to reshape an already
00:10:15.641 --> 00:10:17.609
Starting to every policy
00:10:17.609 --> 00:10:19.611
Dimension, every part of the policy matrix
00:10:19.611 --> 00:10:22.381
That we have seen and known and talked about for decades.
00:10:22.381 --> 00:10:25.217
And so it's going to be
00:10:25.217 --> 00:10:26.385
Increasingly the ability to erase jobs or create them,
00:10:26.385 --> 00:10:30.122
Or to indoctrinate or educate.
00:10:30.122 --> 00:10:32.658
And as we're seeing right now in iran,
00:10:32.658 --> 00:10:34.626
And we saw with the maduro raid in venezuela,
00:10:34.626 --> 00:10:36.929
It is will increasingly affect ai warfare on the battlefield
00:10:36.929 --> 00:10:40.432
To determine who comes home and who doesn't.
00:10:40.432 --> 00:10:42.601
And so when you hear elon and other leaders
00:10:42.601 --> 00:10:45.270
Talking about this, what we have to realize
00:10:45.270 --> 00:10:47.506
Is that there are many, many ideological driven forces
00:10:47.506 --> 00:10:50.609
Within silicon valley, extremely well-funded,
00:10:50.609 --> 00:10:53.011
Who have for years been talking about using ai
00:10:53.011 --> 00:10:56.815
As a way to reset
00:10:56.815 --> 00:10:58.217
Our economic order to a post labor post-capitalist society
00:10:58.217 --> 00:11:02.488
Through universal basic income, wealth redistribution,
00:11:02.488 --> 00:11:06.358
Mailbox money, so to speak.
00:11:06.358 --> 00:11:08.160
Socialism.
00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:09.261
And so there are a lot of competing agendas here.
00:11:09.261 --> 00:11:11.663
And so we've really got to make sure
00:11:11.663 --> 00:11:13.031
That we get caught up to speed very quickly
00:11:13.031 --> 00:11:15.234
To understand this new chessboard.
00:11:15.234 --> 00:11:17.703
Well, you mentioned the military.
00:11:17.703 --> 00:11:19.404
Does that also mean
00:11:19.404 --> 00:11:20.205
That robots might replace the men
00:11:20.205 --> 00:11:21.707
And women of our military, and also the armed
00:11:21.707 --> 00:11:23.642
Forces of countries that don't want the us in the lead?
00:11:23.642 --> 00:11:27.312
Yeah.
00:11:27.546 --> 00:11:28.480
So, humanoid robotics in the battlefield
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.749
Is definitely on the table and is in development
00:11:30.749 --> 00:11:33.385
And will be autonomous warfare and autonomous weapons
00:11:33.385 --> 00:11:36.688
Have been with us for a while,
00:11:36.688 --> 00:11:38.023
But full autonomy, literally
00:11:38.023 --> 00:11:40.058
Having the ability through facial recognition
00:11:40.058 --> 00:11:42.094
To be able to take out targets without human
00:11:42.094 --> 00:11:44.429
Override or intervention that will be a new development.
00:11:44.429 --> 00:11:47.966
And i have a whole discussion of that in the book
00:11:47.966 --> 00:11:50.402
Where really looking at what what
00:11:50.402 --> 00:11:52.604
Who should be in charge of that kill chain
00:11:52.604 --> 00:11:54.873
And who should have that ultimate authority
00:11:54.873 --> 00:11:56.809
And the moral and the moral weight
00:11:56.809 --> 00:11:58.877
Of taking life on the battlefield.
00:11:58.877 --> 00:12:01.113
And so when you hear iwan talk about that, it's very clear,
00:12:01.113 --> 00:12:04.950
And we see what china is doing.
00:12:04.950 --> 00:12:06.451
China is moving ahead in that direction already.
00:12:06.451 --> 00:12:09.588
Let's let's turn
00:12:09.988 --> 00:12:11.089
The conversation to maybe a friendlier part of ai.
00:12:11.089 --> 00:12:13.826
I've read some reports that it's going
00:12:13.826 --> 00:12:15.127
To change our health care, maybe even replace our doctors.
00:12:15.127 --> 00:12:18.897
You know, how is i going to impact
00:12:18.897 --> 00:12:20.499
Just the average person
00:12:20.499 --> 00:12:21.834
And how we interact with the health care community?
00:12:21.834 --> 00:12:24.703
Yeah, pastor. there, there.
00:12:24.703 --> 00:12:25.804
I'm a little more hopeful that once
00:12:25.804 --> 00:12:27.873
We have fully guardrails of, you know, fully,
00:12:27.873 --> 00:12:32.744
Coached up high in health care, we're going to be
00:12:32.744 --> 00:12:35.047
A little better off
00:12:35.047 --> 00:12:36.181
To be able to have that, easy access to information.
00:12:36.181 --> 00:12:39.017
The question, of course, is
00:12:39.017 --> 00:12:40.018
Are you looking at accurate information?
00:12:40.018 --> 00:12:42.321
And the problem with hallucinations,
00:12:42.321 --> 00:12:44.356
As they're called in ai,
00:12:44.356 --> 00:12:45.824
Wrongful or incorrect information persist.
00:12:45.824 --> 00:12:48.894
Those numbers are coming down, which is a good thing.
00:12:48.894 --> 00:12:51.330
But we want to make sure that the information is accurate.
00:12:51.330 --> 00:12:53.999
Just like right now when people go online to google
00:12:53.999 --> 00:12:56.668
And they find information
00:12:56.668 --> 00:12:57.970
That may or may not pertain to their particular health needs,
00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:01.506
I am more hopeful in the medical direction about long term.
00:13:01.506 --> 00:13:05.611
And the reason why is the thing that i excels in is
00:13:05.611 --> 00:13:08.914
Mass pattern recognition, finding points of connection,
00:13:08.914 --> 00:13:12.150
And that can be extremely helpful
00:13:12.150 --> 00:13:13.652
In the sciences for finding two points
00:13:13.652 --> 00:13:16.021
That the human mind just couldn't
00:13:16.021 --> 00:13:17.456
Ingest trillions of data points to locate.
00:13:17.456 --> 00:13:19.858
So there is an upside there.
00:13:19.858 --> 00:13:21.393
I think
00:13:21.393 --> 00:13:22.361
As long as the insurance companies
00:13:22.361 --> 00:13:23.795
Aren't the one programing the,
00:13:23.795 --> 00:13:26.698
Yeah.
00:13:26.932 --> 00:13:28.000
Well, no, i mean, in real truth, and that's part of
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.535
It is who controls the ai is going to determine so much.
00:13:30.535 --> 00:13:34.139
It really is like fire, right?
00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:35.841
We can use it to warm a meal for a hungry person, or to warm
00:13:35.841 --> 00:13:39.111
Somebody from the cold or to incinerate a village.
00:13:39.111 --> 00:13:42.447
And it's going to require the ethics
00:13:42.447 --> 00:13:44.850
Of each individual practitioner to decide the outcome.
00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:48.787
Well, the commercial battle to build the best ai's
00:13:48.787 --> 00:13:50.956
Between the us and china seems to be going full tilt.
00:13:50.956 --> 00:13:54.059
Do you think that the politicians
00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:55.360
On both sides of the aisle see this threat the same way,
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.930
And can work together to beat china
00:13:57.930 --> 00:13:59.831
Before it's too late for us?
00:13:59.831 --> 00:14:02.134
Yeah, i'm actually encouraged about an increasing
00:14:02.134 --> 00:14:05.404
Bipartisan understanding about why we have to beat china.
00:14:05.404 --> 00:14:08.307
And let me just say, i say in the book,
00:14:08.307 --> 00:14:10.108
We have to beat china without becoming china.
00:14:10.108 --> 00:14:12.444
Nobody wants to live in a ccp techno
00:14:12.444 --> 00:14:15.247
Authoritarian surveillance state.
00:14:15.247 --> 00:14:16.949
We do not want to
00:14:16.949 --> 00:14:18.150
Emulate the values of the ccp and the communist regime.
00:14:18.150 --> 00:14:21.586
At the same time, we realize why we have to beat china.
00:14:21.586 --> 00:14:24.356
And it's two reasons. one is the economics, right?
00:14:24.356 --> 00:14:26.692
One third of the s&p 500
00:14:26.692 --> 00:14:28.593
Is made up of the magnificent seven or biggest seven
00:14:28.593 --> 00:14:31.797
Ai related, tech companies in america.
00:14:31.797 --> 00:14:34.866
And so it's a tent pole for our economy.
00:14:34.866 --> 00:14:36.969
On the other hand, we know that the real reason
00:14:36.969 --> 00:14:39.504
Beyond money is because the lives.
00:14:39.504 --> 00:14:41.606
And so whoever gets battlefield supremacy in
00:14:41.606 --> 00:14:44.609
Ai is going to have full spectrum dominance
00:14:44.609 --> 00:14:46.979
And things like cyber security, hacking of missile systems,
00:14:46.979 --> 00:14:50.916
Hacking of infrastructure, and in the rest.
00:14:50.916 --> 00:14:53.752
And so we do have to beat china.
00:14:53.752 --> 00:14:55.654
And i actually have been encouraged.
00:14:55.654 --> 00:14:58.023
The more you see senators and members of congress
00:14:58.023 --> 00:15:00.525
Who are really briefed by people who understand this, they are,
00:15:00.525 --> 00:15:04.196
Increasingly of that position.
00:15:04.196 --> 00:15:05.964
Well, when can you stay for another segment?
00:15:06.865 --> 00:15:09.601
I'd be honored to thank you.
00:15:09.601 --> 00:15:10.802
We're going to take a short break, but we'll be right back.
00:15:10.802 --> 00:15:18.005
We're going to take a short break, but we'll be right back.
00:15:18.005 --> 00:15:23.081
We're back now
00:15:23.415 --> 00:15:24.516
With the distinguished fellow at guy winton hall.
00:15:24.516 --> 00:15:27.853
In your book, you report that i will test your faith,
00:15:27.853 --> 00:15:31.056
And there are
00:15:31.056 --> 00:15:32.257
Historic opportunities emerging, including the human hunger
00:15:32.257 --> 00:15:34.693
For truth, salvation, hope, and even eternal purpose.
00:15:34.693 --> 00:15:38.597
But the technologies leading us into single issue silos,
00:15:38.597 --> 00:15:42.134
So that if you don't engage in life on a very human level,
00:15:42.134 --> 00:15:45.070
You risk falling into what you've called a doom loop.
00:15:45.070 --> 00:15:48.040
Can you explain that?
00:15:48.040 --> 00:15:50.175
Yeah, pastor, one of the things i'm very concerned
00:15:50.175 --> 00:15:52.411
About is what i call a coming crisis of meaning.
00:15:52.411 --> 00:15:55.547
As we see people get siloed into these digital, isolated,
00:15:55.547 --> 00:15:59.518
Relationships with ai.
00:15:59.985 --> 00:16:01.520
We're seeing ai companions, so-called ai girlfriends,
00:16:01.520 --> 00:16:05.157
Young people who came through
00:16:05.157 --> 00:16:06.525
Covid, who were socially isolated,
00:16:06.525 --> 00:16:09.261
That that seems very normal for them
00:16:09.261 --> 00:16:11.063
To be able to interact with a screen,
00:16:11.063 --> 00:16:13.131
And they lose that human
00:16:13.131 --> 00:16:14.399
Connection and that ability to have meaningful interaction.
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.903
Spiritually or otherwise.
00:16:18.470 --> 00:16:19.871
And so the first thing that
00:16:19.871 --> 00:16:21.273
I talk about in that is the coming crisis
00:16:21.273 --> 00:16:23.708
Of meaning with human relationships.
00:16:23.708 --> 00:16:26.044
The second is the issue of jobs, because if any of these
00:16:26.044 --> 00:16:29.948
Job displacement,
00:16:29.948 --> 00:16:31.249
Doom apocalypse predictions that the ai architects predict,
00:16:31.249 --> 00:16:35.454
We really are going to see people
00:16:35.454 --> 00:16:36.988
Who are going to lose a sense of identity.
00:16:36.988 --> 00:16:38.924
So much of our work
00:16:38.924 --> 00:16:40.392
And the protestant work ethic
00:16:40.392 --> 00:16:41.626
And the way that we think of ourselves is tied to work.
00:16:41.626 --> 00:16:43.895
And we know that particularly men,
00:16:43.895 --> 00:16:45.697
When they are out unable to feed their family or provide,
00:16:45.697 --> 00:16:49.968
They often will slip into social pathologies.
00:16:49.968 --> 00:16:52.871
And so i'm concerned about that.
00:16:52.871 --> 00:16:54.673
The real opportunity, i think,
00:16:54.673 --> 00:16:56.675
And i really hope people hear it,
00:16:56.675 --> 00:16:58.477
Is that i think that those very negative
00:16:58.477 --> 00:17:02.147
Externalities can create an enormous
00:17:02.147 --> 00:17:04.416
Opportunity for the church and for fellowship
00:17:04.416 --> 00:17:07.519
And for community, and reaching out
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.821
And building human to human connection with each other,
00:17:09.821 --> 00:17:13.458
In a church, in a church group and the rest of it.
00:17:13.458 --> 00:17:15.827
And i think that's
00:17:15.827 --> 00:17:17.062
Going to be such an opportunity, a revival style opportunity.
00:17:17.062 --> 00:17:20.232
The final thing is, i think we really need
00:17:20.232 --> 00:17:22.134
To understand the mindset of many of those architects in ai,
00:17:22.134 --> 00:17:26.605
Not all of them. there are people of faith.
00:17:26.605 --> 00:17:28.507
One of the things spending two years
00:17:28.507 --> 00:17:29.975
In this world and deep diving, i was really encouraged.
00:17:29.975 --> 00:17:32.978
There are
00:17:32.978 --> 00:17:34.146
Actually a lot of people who are god fearing christians,
00:17:34.146 --> 00:17:37.349
But there are a lot of people who want to replace faith,
00:17:37.349 --> 00:17:41.620
And they believe that a superintelligence can do that.
00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:45.123
And so i'm reminded of,
00:17:45.123 --> 00:17:47.025
Romans 122, you know, claiming to be wise.
00:17:47.025 --> 00:17:50.562
They became fools, right?
00:17:50.562 --> 00:17:52.030
And they exchanged the glory of the immortal god,
00:17:52.030 --> 00:17:55.367
For images resembling mortal man.
00:17:55.367 --> 00:17:58.036
And that came to mind, and i actually put that
00:17:58.036 --> 00:18:00.138
As a header on, on the final chapter,
00:18:00.138 --> 00:18:02.274
Because i think we have to keep that in mind.
00:18:02.274 --> 00:18:04.209
Well, i was particularly intrigued.
00:18:05.010 --> 00:18:06.378
You have advice in your book about how
00:18:06.378 --> 00:18:07.646
To protect our children from getting brainwashed by ai.
00:18:07.646 --> 00:18:10.815
Can you give us
00:18:10.815 --> 00:18:11.750
What's an example of what's been going on
00:18:11.750 --> 00:18:13.218
That parents may not even be aware of?
00:18:13.218 --> 00:18:15.787
Yes, sir.
00:18:15.787 --> 00:18:16.454
It's so important.
00:18:16.454 --> 00:18:17.289
Three things that we've got to
00:18:17.289 --> 00:18:18.423
Do for our kids and our grandkids.
00:18:18.423 --> 00:18:20.325
Number one, understand the bias.
00:18:20.325 --> 00:18:22.427
It is absolutely left leaning bias in all major limbs.
00:18:22.427 --> 00:18:26.665
This is not a it's not an opinion.
00:18:26.665 --> 00:18:28.800
It is a proven fact.
00:18:28.800 --> 00:18:30.068
So you've got to be able to help them
00:18:30.068 --> 00:18:31.703
To understand that the information they're getting
00:18:31.703 --> 00:18:33.772
Is not going to always be, neutral.
00:18:33.772 --> 00:18:36.474
Number two,
00:18:36.474 --> 00:18:37.509
I think they have to understand that ai tutors
00:18:37.509 --> 00:18:40.145
Could be very helpful in things like calculus or, algebra.
00:18:40.145 --> 00:18:43.648
Right, helping to shore up your deficiencies.
00:18:43.648 --> 00:18:45.884
But it will encourage the erosion of critical thinking
00:18:45.884 --> 00:18:49.154
Skills through what's known as cognitive offloading.
00:18:49.154 --> 00:18:51.389
In other words, just using the ai as a crutch.
00:18:51.389 --> 00:18:53.992
And so we can't let our erosion
00:18:53.992 --> 00:18:55.961
Of those critical thinking skills occur.
00:18:55.961 --> 00:18:57.862
And then the final thing
00:18:57.862 --> 00:18:58.930
We've got to guard our children's hearts and minds
00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:01.233
Is as it relates to these so-called ai companions,
00:19:01.233 --> 00:19:04.903
I girlfriends, ai boyfriends, this sounds strange
00:19:04.903 --> 00:19:08.206
To most of us who came up,
00:19:08.206 --> 00:19:10.075
And had to go through those years
00:19:10.075 --> 00:19:11.876
Of learning, courtship and the rest.
00:19:11.876 --> 00:19:13.712
But this generation is very different right now.
00:19:13.712 --> 00:19:15.947
There are millions of subscribers to these types of,
00:19:15.947 --> 00:19:20.185
Ai. and the problem with it, of course, is it has a lot
00:19:20.185 --> 00:19:23.388
Of inappropriate content,
00:19:23.388 --> 00:19:24.923
A lot of dark content in some cases,
00:19:24.923 --> 00:19:28.026
Suicidal coaching by the ai to teenagers, in cases
00:19:28.026 --> 00:19:31.696
Of which i document in code red,
00:19:31.696 --> 00:19:33.898
People taking young people taking their lives
00:19:33.898 --> 00:19:36.501
As a result of it.
00:19:36.501 --> 00:19:37.669
So, we want to know this world so that we can be prepared
00:19:37.669 --> 00:19:41.306
To seize the upside and avert those landmines.
00:19:41.306 --> 00:19:43.675
Well, winton hall, thank you for your solid work on this book.
00:19:44.876 --> 00:19:47.746
It is really a good invitation into the conversation.
00:19:47.746 --> 00:19:51.349
Thank you for having me.
00:19:51.883 --> 00:19:52.817
And thank you for shining a light on.
00:19:52.817 --> 00:19:55.287
Well, if you want to order the book
00:19:55.287 --> 00:19:56.521
For yourself, it's called code red.
00:19:56.521 --> 00:19:58.390
The left, the right, china and the race to controlled.
00:19:58.390 --> 00:20:01.626
We'll have winton back to help us catch up
00:20:02.494 --> 00:20:04.429
With what's happening in the near future.
00:20:04.429 --> 00:20:12.001
With what's happening in the near future.
00:20:12.001 --> 00:20:16.574
Thank you for taking the time
00:20:17.208 --> 00:20:18.576
To share your thoughts and your questions. your emails.
00:20:18.576 --> 00:20:20.745
They're always a highlight, cindy emailed.
00:20:20.745 --> 00:20:23.848
I accepted jesus and was baptized at the age of 11.
00:20:23.848 --> 00:20:26.951
I'm now 68.
00:20:26.951 --> 00:20:28.753
I believe jesus died
00:20:28.753 --> 00:20:29.988
On the cross for all sinners and he rose again in three days.
00:20:29.988 --> 00:20:33.024
However, sometimes i think things
00:20:33.024 --> 00:20:34.826
I hear make me question my salvation.
00:20:34.826 --> 00:20:37.796
How can i be sure?
00:20:37.796 --> 00:20:39.898
Well, cindy, there's one more component
00:20:39.898 --> 00:20:41.466
I would add to your equation of faith.
00:20:41.466 --> 00:20:43.335
What you believe about
00:20:43.335 --> 00:20:44.502
Jesus is important who he is and what he accomplished.
00:20:44.502 --> 00:20:47.505
But you've got to be sure
00:20:47.505 --> 00:20:48.740
You've extended the invitation for him to be lord of your life
00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:52.110
So you can believe the facts
00:20:52.110 --> 00:20:53.311
Without giving him that position in your life.
00:20:53.311 --> 00:20:55.013
If you take that simple step of faith,
00:20:55.013 --> 00:20:57.315
I think it's a matter of living that out.
00:20:57.315 --> 00:20:59.451
We grow up in our faith and don't ever forget
00:20:59.451 --> 00:21:01.386
We have an adversary
00:21:01.386 --> 00:21:02.887
Who puts all sorts of questions in our hearts, in our minds,
00:21:02.887 --> 00:21:05.657
To cause us to question
00:21:05.657 --> 00:21:06.791
The reality of our faith, the reality of god,
00:21:06.791 --> 00:21:09.761
The scripture in general, ignore the adversary.
00:21:09.761 --> 00:21:12.897
He's a liar.
00:21:12.897 --> 00:21:15.266
And then
00:21:15.533 --> 00:21:16.668
From in the netherlands, we got somebody over the pond.
00:21:16.668 --> 00:21:18.670
Aj wrote how do you think it's possible
00:21:18.670 --> 00:21:20.772
That even christians over here in the netherlands think
00:21:20.772 --> 00:21:23.842
That president trump is some sort of a lunatic
00:21:23.842 --> 00:21:26.845
And a danger for the world?
00:21:26.845 --> 00:21:30.215
Well, i think there's a lot of voices
00:21:30.215 --> 00:21:31.649
In the usa and in europe and beyond
00:21:31.649 --> 00:21:34.819
That are pounding that narrative on a regular basis.
00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:38.857
I'm not surprised
00:21:38.857 --> 00:21:39.924
That europe's not excited about a stronger usa,
00:21:39.924 --> 00:21:43.261
But i wouldn't listen to
00:21:43.261 --> 00:21:44.162
Most of the pundits and the talking heads.
00:21:44.162 --> 00:21:46.498
You're wise enough to discern the truth from the false.
00:21:46.498 --> 00:21:49.734
Open your bibles, open your heart.
00:21:49.734 --> 00:21:51.736
I believe god to lead you through.
00:21:51.736 --> 00:21:54.172
Thank you for spending a few moments of your day with us.
00:21:54.172 --> 00:21:56.107
God's moving in the earth and we want to be a part.
00:21:56.107 --> 00:21:56.107
