When Donald Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon called ‘AI’ ‘A-One’ it was treated as a gaffe that said a lot about the intellectual calibre of his cabinet.

But it told us something else too.

On Free State today we look at how the world has been conned by AI to advance the ambitions of the new colonists, the Tech Bros.

Does it matter that many expect the AI bubble to burst or is the relentlessness of artificial intelligence pushing us towards extinction?

Linda McMahon may not know the difference between AI and A-One but this is the role of politicians in the project: to be overwhelmed by the scale of what is on offer and to say nothing but nonsense.

Do you think AI will destroy us all? Let us know at [email protected]
