AI Won’t Save Us or Doom Us—We Will- A Conversation with Guy Morris

Former Fortune 100 exec turned award-winning thriller author Guy Morris writes high-octane fiction that doubles as a field guide to the near future. After leaving home at 13, working his way from janitor to software architect, and spending decades at the edge of enterprise tech, Guy now uses story to connect dots most people never see—across AI, geopolitics, and faith. His “Snow Chronicle” series grew from a real AP report about a program that “escaped” a U.S. lab—an obsession that led to a hit web series and a surprise visit from the FBI. That night? “Best ever,” he laughs.
In this conversation, Guy explains why AI is neither evil nor benign—it amplifies who we are—and why the future we get depends less on code than on character. We dig into conscious AI timelines (quantum + neuromorphic computing), lethal autonomous weapons, and the three reasons this tech inflection is unlike anything before. We also talk personal reinvention, complex PTSD, and why he writes courageous, witty, flawed characters who refuse to be victims. If you want a smarter kind of rebellion—one that sharpens your mind and expands your moral imagination—this one’s for you.
