Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon call for AI regulation
Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon, two figures from opposite ends of the political spectrum, have both called for regulation of artificial intelligence, according to NBC News.
Why this matters: When the furthest-left and furthest-right voices in American politics land on the same demand, it is worth paying attention to what is driving it. AI regulation has no natural political home right now. Industry mostly wants to move fast. That leaves ordinary people exposed to decisions made by systems nobody fully controls and nobody is clearly accountable for. Broad political pressure does not guarantee good policy, but it does make doing nothing harder to defend.
