Josh Hawley is a Republican senator from Missouri. He rails against what he calls "transhumanism", a purported belief among the tech elite that humans should use AI to enhance their physical and cognitive abilities. "Americanism and the transhumanist revolution cannot coexist," Mr Hawley warned at a conservative event. He sits within the paleo-conservative faction of the MAGA movement, which sees AI as a threat not just to work but to the soul.
