Miranda Devine challenges Big Tech\u2019s power over truth, morality, and your freedom. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano joins New York Post columnist and author Miranda Devine to examine artificial intelligence, AI ethics, and Silicon Valley\u2019s power. Devine argues that Anthropic\u2019s approach to Claude and AI consciousness raises urgent questions about human dignity and who determines a chatbot\u2019s moral code. They scrutinize tech executives\u2019 demands for AI regulation, whether federal rules could shield companies from liability, and how government surveillance could expand through AI. The conversation connects constitutional rights, digital privacy, and human independence to a central question: Who controls the technology that could shape your future?
