Artificial intelligence technology is dangerous enough without a prominent Big Tech figure calling for the government to exercise more control over it. 

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976, warned against unchecked AI in an interview with the BBC this week despite the fact that the company uses AI to develop some of its products. Wozniak reportedly the solution to the unchecked growth is more government regulation. "AI is so intelligent it's open to the bad players, the ones that want to trick you about who they are," Wozniak pontificated. He added that AI tools like ChatGPT produce content that "sounds so intelligent" it will allow scams to flourish. The regulation, according to Wozniak’s reported claims, is essential to prevent Big Tech firms from acting like they can “‘get away with anything.’” But his warnings are hollow since the company he founded is profiting off the very technology he’s raising alarms over. 

Apple CEO Tim Cook — who also expressed hypocritical concern against unchecked A recently — admitted that his communist Chinese government-tied company will proceed with using AI despite its threats to humanity. In 2018, Apple tapped Google’s chief of search and artificial intelligence John Giannandrea, marking what The New York Times called “a major coup in its bid to catch up to the artificial intelligence technology of its rivals.” 

Wozniak signed an open letter in March 2023 calling for a six-month pause on the development of AI technology that could rival OpenAI's GPT-4.  He claimed during his BBC interview that mankind should take responsibility for making AI so accessible: "A human really has to take the responsibility for what is generated by AI.” Perhaps he should be worried more about holding the company he helped build to account. 

Conservatives are under attack. Contact the U.S. Commerce Department and demand that Big Tech developers of artificial intelligence technologies mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.
