The digital world has changed faster than most Americans realize.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how information is created and distributed. Organized scam networks are stealing billions of dollars from families and seniors each year. Online predators now exploit social platforms, gaming communities, and messaging apps to target children in ways previous generations never had to imagine.
These threats are not isolated. They are part of a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem where technology is advancing faster than most people, and even most policymakers, can keep up.
Recognizing this growing challenge, Christian Action Network has launched the Digital Intelligence Project, an initiative dedicated to tracking, analyzing, and exposing emerging threats in the digital world.
The Digital Intelligence Project focuses on three areas where technology is reshaping risk in American society.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is one of the most powerful technologies ever created. It holds enormous potential for innovation, medicine, communication, and research. But it also raises serious questions about security, manipulation, surveillance, and the concentration of technological power.
The Digital Intelligence Project monitors the rapidly developing AI landscape, helping the public understand both the opportunities and the dangers that accompany this new era of machine intelligence.
This work includes The Mirror Sentience Hypothesis, Martin Mawyer’s Christian philosophical and theological position paper distinguishing observable AI capabilities from subjective experience and examining their practical benefits and dangers.
Online Scams
Cybercrime has become one of the largest criminal industries in the world.
International scam networks now use sophisticated technology, psychological manipulation, and even artificial intelligence to target victims. Seniors, families, and small businesses are particularly vulnerable.
Many of these crimes originate outside the United States, making them difficult for traditional law enforcement to combat. By tracking these schemes and exposing their tactics, the Digital Intelligence Project seeks to help Americans recognize and avoid these threats.
Digital Predators
The internet has created new opportunities for education and connection, but it has also created new risks for children.
Predators now use gaming platforms, social media, chat services, and messaging apps to identify and groom victims. Technology has given these criminals tools that previous generations of parents never had to confront.
The Digital Intelligence Project works to raise awareness about these dangers and support efforts to protect children and families navigating the online world.
Why This Work Matters
Technology has always reshaped society. But the pace of change today is unprecedented.
Artificial intelligence can generate convincing images, voices, and videos. Scam networks can target thousands of victims simultaneously. Predators can hide behind anonymous digital identities.
Understanding these threats requires careful observation, research, and public education.
That is the purpose of the Digital Intelligence Project.
Through research, media engagement, investigative reporting, and public commentary, the project seeks to help Americans better understand the forces shaping the digital age and the risks they entail.
Our goal is simple: to shine light on emerging digital threats before they cause widespread harm.
The Digital Intelligence Project is part of a broader mission that recognizes an important truth about the modern world. Protecting families, communities, and freedom now requires vigilance not only in the physical world but also in the digital one.
