Conservative commentator Glenn Beck issued a stark warning about the rising threat of artificial intelligence in the hands of ideological extremists, specifically targeting Russian strategist Alexander Dugin.
Often referred to as “Putin’s brain,” Dugin has long been known for his radical geopolitical ideas. But now, Beck says, AI is giving him an even more dangerous platform.

“Alexander Dugin, if you don’t know who he is, real, real dangerous person out of Russia. He’s Putin’s brain. He’s the guy who came up with the strategy in Crimea for the takeover,” Beck said. “He is a religious zealot, although he is, I believe, atheist.”
Beck explained that Dugin uses chaos as his core strategy, adding, “His symbol that he uses is the ancient symbol for chaos. He has put the strategy together that brought Russia and Iran together.” Dugin, Beck says, believes “Russia is the rightful heir to the Roman Empire,” and wants to ignite global war to erase modern civilization and start over: “He just wants to go back in time just a few hundred years.”
What shocked Beck even more than Dugin’s ideology was a video clip he and his team found online. “Here he is yesterday online, a clip that we found of him that he just put out. Listen to what he’s saying here.” But after playing the clip, Beck made a chilling revelation: “He didn’t say any of that. That’s AI. And you can watch that and you’d have absolutely no idea that’s not him.”
Beck emphasized, “Now he can just use AI and preach to the masses and sound very, very sane and very, very competent, which is crazy.” He pointed out that the usual red flags, like Dugin’s thick accent, were gone: “Notice he didn’t, he sometimes he’s hard to understand. He’s got a heavy Russian accent. Notice he didn’t there.”
Jason Buttrill, a military expert and chief writer and researcher for The Blaze, explained that Dugin is panicking over U.S. actions in the Middle East: “…Iran was very integral into Russia’s overall plans of establishing what they call the multipolar war.” He added, “What they want is their multiple polars within the one big polar that controls the world.”
Dugin, Buttrill warned, believes in hastening the end times. “He does believe in the end times, but he believes in it the way that the Iranians do—that they can hasten it. He wants to hurry it up.”
Beck warned of the larger implications. “We are on the verge of radical advancement and we cannot allow the left and the bad guys to dominate.” He stressed the importance of ethics in AI development: “We’re putting things together that are watermarked so you will know what the difference is between really me and AI me.”
Calling AI “the most powerful tool ever invented,” Beck concluded, “We cannot allow this to just be owned by the Left because Dugin is using it. We must find really positive ways to do it and use it ourselves.”

As technology advances at breakneck speed, tools like AI are no longer neutral, they’re being used to shape minds, manipulate truth and even prepare the world for chaos. Beck’s warning about Alexander Dugin’s AI-generated message isn’t just about geopolitics; it’s a spiritual wake-up call. The Bible tells us that in the last days, deception will increase, and lawlessness will abound. What we’re witnessing is not just political warfare, but a deeper battle between light and darkness truth and falsehood.
For believers, this is a time to be alert and discerning. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that false prophets would rise and deceive many. As AI blurs the lines between truth and fiction, it’s more important than ever to be grounded in God’s Word and led by the Holy Spirit. We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. This is a call to action for the church to stand firm, speak truth boldly and shine the light of Christ in a world increasingly gripped by technological and spiritual deception.
