Artificial Intelligence is no longer merely a tool of innovation – it is the decisive terrain of a new global conflict. As rival powers race to dominate algorithms, data, and digital infrastructure, the world has entered a new AI cold war, one that will determine whether the future is governed by liberty or by machine-enabled tyranny.

In The New AI Cold War, national-security analyst and bestselling author Robert L. Maginnis warns that this struggle is not hypothetical. Communist China, Russia, Iran, and other authoritarian regimes are weaponizing artificial intelligence to surveil populations, censor truth, automate warfare, and export digital repression across the globe. At the same time, Western democracies face a quieter but equally dangerous temptation: to surrender self-government to technocracy, trading human judgment and moral accountability for algorithmic efficiency.

Drawing on military history, policy analysis, and biblical worldview, Maginnis argues that AI is not morally neutral. The system now reshaping warfare, governance, commerce, and culture reflect the values of those who build and deploy them. Left unchecked, AI threatens to become a modern Tower of Babel, promising security and power while eroding human dignity, freedom, and truth.

The New AI Cold War equips readers to see clearly what is at stake – not only for nations, but for the Church.
