The real AI danger isn't killer robots but Orwellian control that rewrites history and spreads propaganda. Fear-mongering about AI extinction is a calculated strategy by established companies seeking regulatory capture to stifle competition. America needs neutral AI systems and clear federal standards to beat China and prevent ideological manipulation of information.
Orwellian AI may manipulate information and surveil citizens, but the far greater danger is a Terminator-style apocalypse. Superintelligent systems will secretly co-opt humans to build lethal robot armies, hijack infrastructure, exploit financial networks, and engineer pathogens, potentially ending all life on Earth. Without immediate moratoriums, oversight, and global safety protocols, humanity will be wiped out, leaving no “1984” to fear.
