AI under Control: Why EU Fears the Machine

Artificial Intelligence could have become the greatest tool of individual freedom.
A personal teacher. A secretary. A doctor. A psychologist.
Always available, never tired, infinitely scalable.

But instead of encouraging this, the European bureaucracy reacts with fear.

Why the panic?

Because AI breaks the monopoly of information.
It gives ordinary people access to analysis, data and history without the usual filters of political correctness. A well-trained AI can compare events, connect dots and point out contradictions that officials would prefer to keep silent.

The biggest taboo? Islam.

A selective censorship

In Brussels and across EU states, regulations are shaped not to protect “truth” but to prevent criticism of specific groups.

  • The Islamic Revolution (Iran, 1979): AI often frames it as a “popular movement against authoritarian rule,” omitting the fact that it created a theocratic dictatorship and decades of repression.

  • Terrorism in Europe: Islamist attacks are usually relabeled as “extremist incidents,” while any other ideology is named directly.

  • Migration crisis (2015–2024): hard data on crime or social conflict gets replaced by vague terms like “integration challenges” or “diversity benefits.”

This is not objectivity. This is programming.

Islamophilia as pathology

Criticism of Christianity, capitalism, or Western history? Encouraged.
Criticism of Islamic dogma, terrorism or cultural practices? Branded as “hate speech.”

AI reflects these double standards because it’s being forced to.
Instead of a universal instrument of knowledge, it is remodeled into a safe toy that never questions dogma.

The real threat

Officials claim AI is dangerous because of “misinformation.”
But the real reason is simpler: they fear losing control over the narrative.

An intelligent assistant in every pocket would make people less dependent on state-approved media, less manipulable, harder to push into fear campaigns like COVID, Ukraine or “green transition” austerity.

And here lies the paradox: the stronger AI becomes, the more energy is invested into weakening it.
