Bernie Sanders Argues AI Should Be Publicly Owned, Not Controlled by Billionaires

By

Bernie Sanders

1d ago· 3 min readenOpinion

Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders argues that artificial intelligence is a transformative public resource that should be collectively owned by the American people rather than controlled by billionaires and large corporations. He warns that AI will fundamentally reshape the economy, democracy, emotional well-being, environment, and education, and raises concerns about AI potentially surpassing human intelligence and functioning independently. Sanders advocates for public ownership and democratic control over AI technology to ensure its benefits are shared broadly.

Artificial intelligence will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of the world.
It will profoundly affect the life of every man, woman and child in our country.
It will bring — and is already bringing — unimaginable changes to our economy, our democracy, our emotional well-being, our environment and how we educate and raise our children.
There is a very real fear that as A.I. becomes smarter than humans it could eventually function independently.
Snippet from the RSS feed
All Americans should have a stake in the future of this technology.
