Experts argue that the primary danger from artificial intelligence is not malfunction, but the hubris of its creators, who view themselves as gods, leading to a “filter failure” in the information environment. This technological ideology, which some describe as a Silicon Valley cult, risks stripping individuals of autonomy and functions as a form of neo-colonialism by extracting data. While the European Union is attempting to govern this through frameworks like the AI Act, Digital Services Act, and Digital Markets Act, critics warn that implementation is threatened by industry influence and geopolitical pressures, particularly from the US. The EU’s regulatory efforts are seen as a crucial defense of democracy, but achieving true technological sovereignty remains difficult due to reliance on US models and Taiwanese hardware.
