Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon call for curbs on AI at ‘pro-human’ summit
Senator Bernie Sanders and strategist Steve Bannon appeared together at a Washington event called the 'Pro-Human Assembly,' both calling for restrictions on AI and criticizing Silicon Valley power, while disagreeing on how to approach competition with China.
Why this matters: An odd alliance is not the same as a coherent policy, but it does tell you something real. When the left and the far right are both alarmed about the same technology, the political window for AI regulation opens a little wider. The actual disagreements between them matter too. Restrictions designed around economic power look different from restrictions designed around national security. Who shapes the rules first shapes everything else. Silicon Valley should not assume that no one is coming.
