Whitney Webb Warns AI Will Destroy Autonomy and Cement a Two-Tier Society

Whitney Webb on How AI Will Create a Two-Tier Society and Erase Human Autonomy

- The national security state and Silicon Valley have fused

- AI is often labeled "private sector," yet many firms have major contracts and ties with intelligence agencies.

- AI companies frequently promote tools without independent performance verification or real transparency.

- The AI system used citizens’ health data to enforce localized lockdowns based on predictions.

- Webb criticizes the public perception that AI is inherently smarter or more reliable than human decision-making.

- Using AI in public decisions is risky given the U.S. security state's history of eroding civil liberties.
