‘We need to control the platforms, all the social platforms,’ Cato Networks co-founder Shlomo Kramer said
Israeli billionaire tech entrepreneur and Cato Networks co-founder Shlomo Kramer argued on Monday’s episode of CNBC’s “Money Movers” that governments must restrict freedom of speech in the age of AI.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump Monday at his Mar-a-Lago estate, weeks after a top Israeli defense official warned the world is soon to face its first cyber-based war. This meeting between Trump and Netanyahu comes amid growing debate within some conservative circles over the scope of American backing for Israel and the direction of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Netanyahu has referred to social media as a new weapon in the modern age.
“How is AI cyber warfare shaping geopolitics right now?” CNBC host Sara Eisen asked Kramer.
Kramer emphasized that artificial intelligence is already revolutionizing cyber warfare, ranging from critical infrastructure to the fabric of society and politics, arguing that it is undermining it. He claimed this is giving authoritarian governments an unfair advantage against democratic countries. Kramer went on to make a suggestion that quickly went viral on social media as speech advocates warned against the slippery slope to government censorship.
shlomo kramer needs to mind his own business. The United State constitution was designed and written by Americans, for Americans, not Israelis.
