On this episode of Two Mikes, Dr. Michael Scheuer and Col. Mike welcome back Jeff Dornik, owner and director of Pickax, for a sharp discussion on the explosive rise of artificial intelligence and the urgent questions few people in power seem willing to ask. From AI’s potential role in mass surveillance and centralized control to its impact on white-collar jobs, education, research, writing, and independent thought, this conversation challenges the idea that technological progress is automatically human progress. Is AI a tool for freedom, or a weapon for managed conformity?
