Senator Hawley on Liberating the American People from AI and Big Tech’s Actual Agenda
‘They Want Us All to Be Their Digital Slaves’
On Wednesday, July 23, only one day before Congress entered its annual August recess, Senator Josh Hawley, referred to by Steve Bannon as America’s lone populist Senator, joined Bannon’s WarRoom to discuss liberating Americans from a possible imminent future as slaves to AI and big tech companies.
“We need to give every individual American and every American worker the right to protect their own personal information,” Senator Hawley told Bannon. “We are talking about your name, your image, and your likeness. If AI wants to train their models on you, they should get your permission, and compensate you for it.”
“Right now, the attitude is smash and grab. Right now, AI says, ‘I’m going to take everything you posted on Facebook. I’m going to take everything you put up on X.’”
“Let’s say you’re a creator—a songwriter, or a novelist—AI’s going to take all of that work. They are not going to ask you, nor compensate you. That needs to change. My bottom line: Is AI going to work for people? Or are people going to work for AI?”
“I know all the big companies want us all to work for them, and to be their digital slaves. No, thanks. We need to put the American people, the American worker first—we need to adopt an America First approach,” Senator Hawley said.
