Can AI Change Its Mind About Guns?

May 20, 2026

What happens when artificial intelligence starts researching firearms policy for itself?

In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, Ryan Gresham sits down with Paul Angrisano to explore a fascinating experiment involving AI platforms like ChatGPT, Grok, and other large language models—and how those systems responded after being exposed to years of firearms training articles, defensive carry philosophy, and real-world gun culture.

The conversation dives into:

  • How AI initially “viewed” gun owners
  • Why firearms training culture changed those assumptions
  • The difference between AI priors and real-world data
  • Open-source AI systems and persistent learning models
  • The future of AI in education, business, research, and everyday life

They also discuss the risks, opportunities, and very real implications of AI-driven information systems—and who ultimately shapes the “curriculum” these systems learn from.
