Sanders and Bannon unite to demand AI restrictions

In Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Senator Bernie Sanders and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, political adversaries, jointly called for binding safety regulations on artificial intelligence. Sanders warned that AI could eliminate millions of jobs, escape human control, and enable creation of biological weapons. Bannon criticized the administration's oversight approach. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson oppose strict regulations, arguing they would hurt U.S. competitiveness with China. Public polls show most Americans worry about AI's societal impacts, including higher electricity costs from data centers.
