Senator Bernie Sanders and former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon delivered a rare shared warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence on Tuesday, with the ideological opposites accusing powerful technology companies of moving too quickly and calling for greater human control over AI.
Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont who caucuses with Democrats, and Bannon spoke back-to-back at the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, organised by the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit focused on reducing existential risks from powerful technologies. The event brought together voices from across the political spectrum to push for a more human-centred approach to AI.
