Episode Description
AI ethics raises a crucial question: Who gave Big Tech the power to define humanity’s future? Miranda Devine challenges Big Tech and their power over truth, morality, and your freedom.
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano joins New York Post columnist and author Miranda Devine to examine artificial intelligence, AI ethics, and Silicon Valley’s power. Devine argues that Anthropic’s approach to Claude and AI consciousness raises urgent questions about human dignity and who determines a chatbot’s moral code. They scrutinize tech executives’ demands for AI regulation, whether federal rules could shield companies from liability, and how government surveillance could expand through AI. The conversation connects constitutional rights, digital privacy, and human independence to a central question: Who controls the technology that could shape your future?
