Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren are leading a confrontational stance against AI.<\/li>\n<li>They argue that AI benefits may predominantly go to a small group of billionaires while imposing costs on workers, consumers, and communities.<\/li>\n<li>Sanders has introduced legislation, including a moratorium on new data centers and calls for cooperation with China on AI safety, and is linking AI to campaign finance reform.<\/li>\n<li>Ocasio-Cortez has focused on environmental impacts, advocating for investigations into data centers&#8217; effect on water quality, and co-sponsoring the DEFIANCE Act to combat AI deepfakes.<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Ro Khanna has criticized data centers but does not support a full moratorium, proposing &#8220;Work for America&#8221; to counter AI job losses.<\/li>\n<li>Warren suggests taxing AI companies to ensure broader public benefit from AI&#8217;s economic gains, emphasizing that AI&#8217;s success should benefit all Americans.<\/li>\n<li>The broader question for Democrats is whether AI skepticism will solidify as a grassroots force or remain mainly within progressive circles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Are The Democrats Taking a More Confrontational Stance On Artificial Intelligence https:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/report-details-why-democrats-are-splitting-over-how-deal-artificial-intelligence-3803493 Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":223663,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.com\/en\/full\/4649474\/ai-capitol.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-223661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223661"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223661"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223661\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":223665,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223661\/revisions\/223665"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
