Mike Davis: Nonsense That Big Tech Needs An “AI Amnesty” Because Of Threats From China, These Tech Monopolists Do China’s Bidding
Article III Project founder Mike Davis said this morning on Bannon’s “War Room” that including a ten-year moratorium on AI regulation in the “Big, Beautiful” bill to allow American companies to compete with China is backwards logic. “These are not pro-American companies. These are CCP companies, and they have demonstrated that over and over and over again,” Davis said. “Are we going to steal every copyright in America so these trillion-dollar companies can get more rich?”
STEVE BANNON: OK, two things. Number one, what they’re telling President Trump-and what they’re-the… when you talk to these guys up in the Senate and all the consultants up there, they’re saying: Hey, you know, you and the War Room posse are all about taking down the CCP, and you back Lao Beijing, and you guys were the first to identify China and the CCP as the existential threat-not just to the Chinese people, not just to the American people, but to the whole world. And if you let rubes in Missouri and Tennessee and Kentucky and Idaho and Montana and Michigan-in bib overalls-actually be able to control the advance of artificial intelligence, when there’s already been a Sputnik moment and we’re trying to catch up to the Chinese Communist Party, you’re putting national security-you’re putting the fate of the nation and the world-in jeopardy. Because you guys are whining a little bit about-they’re gonna take President Trump’s The Art of the Deal or one of Steve Bannon’s great classic documentary films and use it for free, to make sure that the machine learning-that the machine learns faster. Your response, sir? MIKE DAVIS: That’s nonsense. These tech monopolists-especially Google and Meta-do China’s bidding every day. Let me give you an example: Project Maven. You had Google cut off America’s drone program. Google was working with American intel on a drone program called Project Maven, and Google cut that off and left the American military and intel agencies high and dry-because Google’s a monopolist, right? So the American military and intel agencies had to scramble to make up for Google pulling out of America’s drone program under Project Maven. At the same time, what is Google doing? Project Dragonfly-where Google is doing the CCP censorship program. So Google will not do Project Maven for America, but it will censor for the CCP under Project Dragonfly. These are not pro-American companies. These are CCP companies, and they have demonstrated that over and over and over again. And again-should we all work for free? Should we all be slaves? Are we going to be like Uyghur slaves like China has, so we can compete against China? Are we going to steal every copyright in America so these trillion-dollar companies can get more rich?
