Casar to call for US to lead AI diplomacy
Texas Democratic Congressman Greg Casar is set to call on the United States to take a leading role in international AI diplomacy at a 'pro-human' AI event. The gathering brings together a politically unusual mix of speakers, including Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon.
Why this matters: When Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon share a stage, the politics of AI are not sorting along the usual lines. That is worth paying attention to. 'Pro-human AI' can mean very different things depending on who is saying it — labor protections, national sovereignty, surveillance resistance, or something else entirely. The diplomatic angle matters too. Whoever sets the global rules for AI shapes what governments and companies are allowed to do with your data and your life. The US has been slow to lead on that. Whether this event moves anything forward is an open question, but the coalition is unusual enough to notice.
