DeSantis Sounds Alarm Over Unchecked AI Growth

Blogger Comment: These exalted God-like technologies are a false Trojan Horse that will do more harm to western civilization than any good, as there are always two sides to a technology story, one for good for humanity and the other side the evil side for humanity…and that goes for all techniohgies, as big business never tell us the harm factors, as big business is only interested in one thing, the ‘bottom-line’ and the US$ billions and even US trillions that big tech make constantly, where human health and any malevolent and terrible effects from new technologies take a back seat until years into the future, where human diseases and death are scientifically linked to them eventually, just like the Covid-19 injections of recent times were, where 10s of millions have died across the world after the jabs and 100s of millions maimed that are now definitely linked to injections, so DeSantis is 100% right here in every way in human and intelligence terms and we have not to take AI at face value or else we are really entering the twilight zone of unconscious human harm and possibly unparallel in human history…for the ramifications for humanity may be existential in the long term, as no-one knows currently what these decision-machine technologies will cause to humanity, not even Donald Trump and his Hi-Tech advisers or the CEO’s of these technology titans who overridingly are only, and I state only, interested in making US$ billions for themselves (like a mental disease that Gates and others have) and their rich shareholders who just want more all of the time, not for the masses of the people predominantly and any harm to anyone, even 10s of millions, is just seen as human collateral damage…that’s how these people see and think of their fellow human inhabitants with little regard for at all and fact…

Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is drawing a line in the sand, positioning Florida as the frontline in the battle against unchecked artificial intelligence (AI) expansion.

With a bold agenda to curb AI’s societal and economic fallout, DeSantis is clashing with tech giants and even President Donald Trump, Politico reported.

Trump champions a laissez-faire approach to AI for global dominance.

However, DeSantis is raising concerns about jobs, community resources, and the very fabric of democracy.

During an AI event in Jupiter, DeSantis didn’t mince words.

The Florida governor is warning against what he called a dangerous “transhumanist strain” in AI tech.

“The idea of this transhumanist strain, that somehow this is going to supplant humans and this other stuff, we have to reject that with every fiber of our being,” DeSantis declared.

The warning is a blow to Silicon Valley’s utopian dreams, and it’s refreshing to hear a leader prioritize human dignity over machine worship.

During another event in Sebring, DeSantis doubled down, slamming AI-generated content as little more than deceptive junk.

“Let’s not try to act like some type of fake videos or fake songs are going to deliver us to some kind of utopia,” he said.

Meanwhile, Trump’s pushing for federal oversight with minimal restrictions, even threatening lawsuits against states like Florida for daring to set their own rules.

Nevertheless, DeSantis remains unfazed, leaning on states’ rights under the 10th Amendment.

At the heart of DeSantis’ crusade is a push to halt the spread of massive data centers, which he and local Floridians see as resource hogs causing noise, pollution, and utility spikes.

Projects like a proposed 202-acre facility in Palm Beach County are on hold, while St. Lucie County residents fight a $13.5 billion center threatening agricultural land, a classic case of corporate interests steamrolling community needs.

DeSantis isn’t buying the tech industry’s “jobs and growth” pitch, pointing to examples like Louisiana’s mammoth data hub as a cautionary tale Florida must avoid.

As Florida’s legislative session looms on Jan. 13, 2026, DeSantis has made AI restrictions a top priority, proposing consumer notifications, bans on AI-driven mental health counseling, and parental controls over kids’ tech use.

Lawmakers are already advancing a bill to ensure human oversight in insurance decisions, a sensible guardrail against algorithm tyranny, while the state House held extensive hearings to weigh innovation against protection.

DeSantis frames this as a bipartisan fight to shield families and ratepayers from AI’s darker side, building on Florida’s existing laws against AI misuse in political ads and child exploitation, a rare issue where common sense might just prevail over partisan noise.
