A<\/span>rtificial Intelligence has become so important it has dominated everyday news, garnering responses worldwide even from the Pope, some responses\u00a0good\u00a0and others less so.<\/p>\n

This author has been warning for years that AI is a special threat to today\u2019s philosophical conservatism. This was initially made clear in reviewing\u00a0a\u00a0book three years ago by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, MIT Dean Daniel Huttenlocher, and Henry Kissinger, and\u00a0clarified again a year later,\u00a0using data evidence from formal studies.<\/p>\n

The family is the source of the habits that we\u2019re going to need to cultivate the next generation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0American Enterprise Institute\u00a0study testing large-language AI models was the most disturbing. The AI leaders OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI, and DeepSeek were tested on how they would rate 26 prominent U.S. think tanks for accuracy on 12 criteria regarding their research quality, their institutional character, and their moral integrity. Center-Left tanks had the highest AI rated correct interpretative scores (3.9 of 5), Left and Center-Right tanks tied at 3.4, with Right AI accuracy scores trailing at 2.8.\u00a0AEI\u2019s evaluators concluded that the higher AI rating correlations for Left think tanks came from a bias within the AI models themselves, a conclusion somewhat conceded by Copilot 360 in referencing a\u00a0MIT Press\u00a0study.<\/p>\n

My personal experience as a conservative scholar regularly searching AI responses to academic questions is that AI answers generally require many secondary questions to find serious conservative solutions. Without an extended series of specific references, searches do not identify books and articles I know exist and are available and relevant to the request.<\/p>\n

Still, the basic AI problem is even more fundamental. AI is by its very nature backward-looking in time. Today\u2019s conclusions meant to influence future action are exclusively based upon data from the past. Knowledge from the past may seem neutral in nature but AI models choose data from the \u201cbest\u201d intellects. These data sources tend to be progressive analysts at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and company, from foundations like Gates, Open Society, Lilly, and Ford, and Left-leaning think tanks\u00a0 generally. These are then interpreted favorably for consumption by the masses by the New York Times<\/em> and the other elite mass media.<\/p>\n

It was the philosopher Plato who taught that the \u201cpoets\u201d \u2014 or we would say the intellectuals and those who popularize them \u2014 will always shape a culture and will rule by how they explain it to the masses. But the unique flaw of AI is that it only draws from past facts or past predictions to opine on solutions for future problems. And that past must be dominated by the sources the AI programmers consider the most valid \u2014 academic studies, government research, and so forth.<\/p>\n

AI cannot rely on \u201cforward facts\u201d because they have not yet occurred. So all it can do is guess \u2014 and guesses for the future are simply guesses, AI or otherwise. With AI stocks recently hitting the lowest average\u00a0values since April 2025, the market itself has begun to bring AI under some control. Yet, excessive control by government is the greater possibility, as\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0<\/em>conservative columnist Holman Jenkins has\u00a0long feared, especially by the national government\u2019s basically independent national intelligence community.<\/p>\n

From a longer-term perspective, former conservative Senator and university president\u00a0Ben Sasse has argued that an AI world is inevitable and \u201cno matter what the illiberal Left or the increasingly illiberal\u201d Right claim, the solution can\u2019t be done with policy levers in Washington,\u201d which by the subsidiarity principle he rightly claims represents the true conservative position.<\/p>\n

There are\u00a0optimistic scenarios, but Sasse argues that America today finds us in a new \u201ccivilizational-warping crisis of institutional decline,\u201d of personal loneliness, of distrust for institutions and for neighbors. Until recently we lived in a world of measurable atoms but AI changes us into dealing with limitless bits. This will move us from a life of work to a life requiring much greater emotional balance and character development, only achievable by individual deep reading of serious books, through a new sense of hard work, and even engaging in technical sabbaths and world travel for broader understanding and social learning.<\/p>\n

Sasse argues that the great divide in the future \u201cwill not be race, class, or income. It will be between people who master the tools of technology and those who outsource their affections and their habits to these tools and algorithms. The future will be awe-inspiring for the first group, and life will be miserable for the second.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most conservatives \u201cgrew up fearing the dystopian future of George Orwell, but it turns out the dystopian future of Aldous Huxley was much more likely.\u201d In that AI dominated future world, \u201cwe face the tyranny of ubiquitous pleasure, of easy comfort \u2014 the soft despotism of \u2018Brave New World,\u2019 not the brutal authoritarianism of 1984.\u201d<\/p>\n

For most of us the challenge will start at home.<\/p>\n

The family is the source of the habits that we\u2019re going to need to cultivate the next generation. Nobody loves your kids as much as you do. Loves are local and creating the habits that foster the love of the good, the true, and the beautiful begins at home. The bad news of what I\u2019m suggesting is that it\u2019s deeply inconvenient. The good news is that parenting has always been inconvenient. It\u2019s the ultimate inconvenience.<\/p>\n

The general threat from an AI dominated world is to self-government, individual freedom, and limited national government power. Conservatives especially must take the AI challenge seriously as a fundamental threat that will require a serious and wholesale commitment to avoid that Brave New World\u00a0future.<\/p>\n
