Sen. Bernie Sanders is planning a trip to California to discuss the future of artificial intelligence (AI) with industry leaders, emphasizing its potential impact on working people and the economy.
Sanders believes that AI and robotics will bring about an unprecedented level of transformation in the world, greater even than the impacts of electricity, the automobile, and the internet.
He is concerned about the goals of those investing heavily in AI, particularly regarding its potential to replace jobs and reduce labor costs.
Sanders criticized the focus on wealth accumulation and power over benefiting ordinary people, referencing concerns raised by tech leaders such as Elon Musk and Jim Farley.
He mentioned that following the discussions, he will introduce legislation for a moratorium on the construction of AI data centers.
After returning from California, Sanders plans to continue the dialogue at a town hall at Stanford University with Rep. Ro Khanna.
