Progressive senator Bernie Sanders and right-wing strategist Steve Bannon have spoken out against artificial intelligence (AI) at a "Pro-Human Assembly" in Washington. Sanders and Bannon, who are united in their warning about the dangers of AI, have offered competing ideas on how to handle the "AI race" with China. While they agree that AI poses a threat, Sanders advocates for international diplomacy and a global treaty to ban the development of super-intelligent machines, whereas Bannon calls for a "quarantine" of China by cutting off economic and technological ties with the country.
Both politicians criticize big tech corporations and warn that AI's unchecked development could lead to social harm and threaten American jobs.
