Artificial intelligence is radically reshaping the workplace, the digital ecosystem, the way we interact with each other, and the future of crime, surveillance, and warfare.

But conservatives in particular, argues Wynton Hall, risk falling dangerously behind in navigating this new world. Nobody will get to opt out of the AI revolution—whether conservatives like it or not, Hall says.

He’s social media director at Breitbart News and author of the new New York Times bestselling book “Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI.”

He’s spent two years researching what drives America’s tech elite to build ever more powerful and faster AI systems. The questions he wanted to answer, he told me, are: “What is their ultimate goal? What is the world that they foresee their technology creating?”

In our in-depth interview, we dive into the impact that this supersonic AI transformation will have on pretty much every facet of our lives: Will white collar jobs disappear over the next years? Will blue collar jobs be lost to billions of robots? Will people live on Universal Basic Income? And, if so, how does that affect the structure and meaning of people’s lives?

Could AI companions replace humans as friends, partners, family? How and what will children learn—or will they only learn to cheat? Will implants and chips become widespread?

And what are the national security implications of ever more powerful AI?

“Whoever achieves superiority in AI, is going to have full spectrum battlefield dominance in things like encryption, cybersecurity, hacking of missile systems and hacking of infrastructure,” Hall argues.

When it comes to the US-China AI race, the problem that Americans have to figure out is “how to beat China without becoming China. We do not want to emulate a techno authoritarian CCP surveillance state,” Hall says.
