Robert J. Marks Discusses the Threat of Artificial Intelligence on Fox News Radio

Robert J. Marks II recently appeared on The Fox News Rundown Podcast to discuss whether we should be concerned about any potential threat artificial intelligence may pose. "AI is not human," Marks explained. "We have a tendency to anthropomorphize it, to make it human-like, and not realizing that, of course, that AI has no understanding of what it does.

AI Ascends — But Not Above Its Teachers

If we consider the vast material in the U.S. Library of Congress as “intelligent,” then it becomes reasonable to classify augmented large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, GROK, and DeepSeek as intelligent as well. But if intelligence includes creativity or understanding, then neither the Library of Congress nor augmented LLMs qualify. Read More ›

DeepSeek AI Is the Competition America Needs

The success of DeepSeek, the Chinese rival to American goliaths with radically more cost-effective artificial intelligence, reveals the futility of U.S. sanctions policies. Under the Biden administration, the American government was captured by some of the world’s most ham-handed national-security socialists, while the Chinese private sector under Xi Jinping commands some of the world’s most nimble capitalists.

He was referring to yet more high-profile departure via a series of puff piece magazine covers, commenting, “From left to right that’s Ilya Sutskever (now gone, less than a year later), Greg Brockman (on leave, at least until the end of the year), CTO Mira Murati (departure just announced) and Sam Altman (fired, and then rehired).” Read More ›

They aren’t the people who are always in the news. But if you ask insiders, they are some of the people who matter most. Read More ›
