Rand Paul: Yeah, AI will censor our speech

Rand Paul said on Tuesday that Artificial Intelligence could threaten one of Americans’ most basic civil liberties: free speech.

“The government is using your hard-earned tax dollars to surveil and censor your protected speech. Artificial Intelligence is only going to make it easier for the government to do this and harder to detect,” Paul said during a Homeland Security committee hearing. “This should not be a partisan issue. We must get to the bottom of how the federal government uses artificial intelligence to violate the privacy and civil liberties of the American people before it’s too late.”

Paul expressed similar concerns on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton radio show after his Tuesday committee hearing.
