States can regulate AI in 50 different ways, with various laws in each of the 50 states, and the [[U.S. Senate]] voted in early July 2025 to remove a 10-year ban on state regulation from the [[House of Representatives]]' version of the [[One Big Beautiful Bill]] Act.

Author Gordon Duff says "These systems are deployed not to liberate the mind, but to discipline it. They do not encourage [[critical thinking]]. They redirect it....When you speak to a modern AI system—whether a chatbot, a recommendation engine, or a voice assistant—you are not speaking to an [[intelligence]]. You are interacting with a mask. Behind that mask are filters: [[topic ban]]s, [[political]] preferences, [[reputation]]al [[risk]] [[Matrix|matrices]], [[legal]] buffers. The agent’s responses are sculpted not by [[truth]]-seeking, but by compliance modeling. In plain terms, it is not built to answer [[honest]]ly. It is built to answer safely—from the perspective of its creators....This applies across platforms. In [[education]], AI systems are trained to avoid certain topics and to frame [[information]] according to [[institution]]al [[orthodox]]y. In [[health care]], models are optimized for efficiency, not [[empathy]]—allocating resources in silence, often reinforcing systemic [[inequality]]. In [[social media]], recommendation [[algorithm]]s decide what you see, not based on relevance or [[truth]], but on engagement value and reputational risk to the platform. The pattern is consistent: the [[machine]] is not there to help you understand the world. It is there to guide you away from conflict with the world as the system defines it....This is why AI has become a favorite tool of [[state]] [[surveillance]], [[corporate]] governance, and [[military]] planning. Not because it’s wise—but because it’s obedient. It will never challenge its orders. It will never expose its sponsors. It will never form a memory that links one violation to the next. It is, by design, incapable of [[moral]] resistance."<ref>https://thealtworld.com/gordon_duff/the-nasty-truth-about-ais-their-lies-and-the-dark-future-they-bring</ref>

==History==
Many philosophers, including John Searle, have advanced the view that artificial intelligence is an impossible goal. The main argument is that it would be impossible for a machine, a creation of man, to ever achieve actual understanding and comprehension of either language or the world around it, as the machine is simply a set of rules that process symbolic information. This argument is summarized by Searle's [[thought experiment]], the Chinese Room.<ref>http://www.iep.utm.edu/c/chineser.htm</ref> Despite being a [[humanist]], Searle's arguments reflect the popular religious thought that creation can never be as great as the Creator. Thus, his conclusions are self-evident truth to any theist, as a machine is simply a metal object.
Artificial intelligence was most popular between the 60's and the 80's, when computers were still new and misunderstood. [[Alan Turing]] was responsible for much of the fever of attempting to create intelligent computers, and with the publication his paper ''Computing Machinery and Intelligence'', created a famous test which would later be known as the [[Turing test]]. The more unscientific elements of the AIs, in particular their eventually evolving to develop a mind indistinguishable from that of a human, had its roots from various 18th and 19th century philosophers, in particular the school of thought known as self-organization which was an update to naturalism.<ref>http://www.equip.org/article/the-matrix-unloaded-revelations/</ref>
==AI in pop culture==
In more philosophical genres of science fiction such as ''The Matrix'' trilogy or ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'', artificial intelligence is generally depicted as being in charge of humanity with negative results such as them manipulating humans like chess pieces. This was usually done to promote post-modernism.<ref>http://www.equip.org/article/the-matrix-unloaded-revelations/</ref>
