Episode Details

AI isn’t just changing how we work—it could reshape politics, education, relationships, national security, and even how we understand what it means to be human.

In this episode of Gen Z Unplugged, Wynton Hall, author of Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI, breaks down the battle already underway over artificial intelligence. He explains why conservatives can’t afford to simply opt out, how AI could disrupt entry-level jobs while creating enormous opportunities for young entrepreneurs, and why America’s race against China matters far beyond Silicon Valley.

From political bias and socialism to AI girlfriends, transhumanism, and a coming “crisis of meaning,” Hall warns that the stakes are much bigger than ChatGPT. His message to Gen Z: learn the technology before the technology learns to control you.
