Bernie Sanders Saw This Coming
Senator Bernie Sanders has long argued that concentrated corporate and billionaire power undermines democratic governance. He now believes public frustration with Big Tech, extreme wealth inequality, and unregulated AI has grown enough to make that argument politically decisive.
Why this matters: The policy debate around AI and Big Tech is not just technical. It is about who holds power and who answers to nobody. Sanders has been making that argument for decades when it was easy to dismiss. It is harder to dismiss now. If political momentum is actually shifting, it matters for how AI gets regulated, whether antitrust enforcement gets teeth, and whether the people building these systems face any real accountability. Watch what follows the rhetoric.
