Tom Basile sounded the alarm about artificial intelligence this week, comparing its risks to nuclear weapons. The conservative TV host warned AI could destroy society if left unchecked. His blunt message hit home for Americans worried about tech giants controlling their lives.
Basile ripped left-wing elites for pushing AI while ignoring the dangers. He said the same people who can’t secure our borders want to unleash unpredictable technology. This reckless approach puts everyday Americans at risk, he argued.
Artificial intelligence could be weaponized against freedom, Basile warned. He pointed to Big Tech’s track record of censoring conservatives as proof. If AI falls into the wrong hands, it might erase free speech entirely, he claimed.
The Newsmax host blasted government plans to regulate AI as too little, too late. He compared it to building a fence after the horses have bolted. Basile insisted real protection comes from limiting tech power, not expanding bureaucracy.
Some say AI could revolutionize healthcare and transportation. Basile countered that nuclear energy had similar promises – but also created weapons of mass destruction. He urged focusing on threats before embracing shiny new toys.
Basile praised American ingenuity but warned against blind faith in Silicon Valley. He reminded viewers that the same experts failed to predict social media’s damage to kids. Why trust them now with something even more powerful?
The solution isn’t more government control, Basile insisted. He called for citizens to pressure companies directly and reject invasive AI tools. True freedom means choosing technology that respects values, not undermines them.
Basile ended with a rallying cry for common-sense caution. He urged viewers to stay informed through independent media like Newsmax. In the battle for America’s future, he said, vigilance is our best defense.
