US is moving towards a form of governance where AI controls all aspects of life

 The US is shifting towards an “algocracy” where artificial intelligence (“AI”) and algorithms control various aspects of life, including law enforcement, employment and healthcare, without human oversight or accountability.

The Trump administration’s 10-year ban on AI regulation allows AI to operate without oversight, potentially leading to a surveillance state where citizens are sorted, scored, and monitored by machinery.

To resist this, it is essential to demand algorithmic transparency, data ownership rights, and legal recourse against automated decisions, as well as a Digital Bill of Rights that guarantees rights such as privacy, data security and the right to challenge automated decisions.

The Deep State is not going away. It’s just being replaced. Replaced not by a charismatic autocrat or even a shadowy bureaucracy, but by artificial intelligence (“AI”) – unfeeling, unaccountable, and immortal.

As we stand on the brink of a new technological order, the machinery of power is quietly shifting into the hands of algorithms. Under Donald Trump’s watch, that shift is being locked in for at least a generation.

Trump’s latest legislative initiative – a 10-year ban on AI regulation buried within the “One Big Beautiful Bill” – strips state and local governments of the ability to impose any guardrails on artificial intelligence until 2035.

Despite bipartisan warnings from 40 state attorneys general, the bill passed the House and awaits Senate approval. It is nothing less than a federal green light for AI to operate without oversight in every sphere of life, from law enforcement and employment to healthcare, education, and digital surveillance.

This is not innovation. This is institutionalised automation of tyranny. This is how, within a state of algorithmic governance, code quickly replaces constitutional law as the mechanism for control. We are rapidly moving from a society ruled by laws and due process to one ruled by software....<<<Read More>>>...
