  "summary": "US Senator Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, have expressed concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence. They spoke at the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, an event organised by the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit focused on reducing existential risks from powerful technologies.\n\nAccording to The Economic Times, Sanders and Bannon accused powerful technology companies of moving too quickly and called for greater human control over AI. While they did not share the same stage, their appearances highlighted a rare area of convergence in a deeply polarised Washington: concern over the pace of AI development and the concentration of power in the hands of a small number of technology companies.\n\nBoth men called for tighter AI regulation, with CBS News reporting that they made these comments at a \"pro-human\" AI summit in Washington, D.C. The event brought together voices from across the political spectrum to push for a more human-centred approach to AI.",
