The decisions they make will be accountable to the public, which we do not have right now.
Bernie Sanders
The Public Record
Bernie Sanders is an American politician and activist who has served as the junior United States senator from Vermont since 2007. A member of the Independent party, Sanders is known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice, healthcare reform, and income equality. He previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 2007, where he was the first independent elected to the House in 40 years. Throughout his career, Sanders has been a vocal critic of economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.
The American people the ability to prevent AI developments which will negatively impact their lives.
We got to make sure that AI works for everybody and the common good, not just to make the richest people in the world even richer and more powerful.
I think AI has real benefits in terms of healthcare and other areas. It's a very, very powerful tool. But I worry.
The American people are angry. They're tired of getting ripped off. They don't want to see all this wealth go to a handful of billionaires.
We have got to work to make sure that AI and robotics work for all of us, not just to enrich people who are already incredibly wealthy and powerful.
The more important point is that the public would have 50% representation on every major AI company.
It is clear to me that AI is going to be the most transformational technology in the history of humanity.
This is what we are trying to do. It's an enormous fight. We're going to win it.
We're taking on the pharmaceutical industry. We're spending millions and millions of dollars trying to make sure they could charge us ten times more than the people of other countries for drugs.
I think we have a moral responsibility to leave them a planet that is healthy and is habitable.
Now maybe you can tell me, or somebody else can tell me, how much we should spend to save the planet.
I hope very much, and I think the American people agree, that now is the time. And if we can do it through reconciliation, I'm there.
Aside from raising the tax cap, Sanders is proposing adding a 12.4% tax on all investment and business income.
The American people deserve a foreign policy that serves American interests and American values, not legislation that places the priorities of a foreign government above American sovereignty.
Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions. So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally.
Well, I certainly hope they understand what happened and make sure that never happens again. And this is not only a human tragedy, it reflects on us before the entire world. It's unacceptable.
I think when you look at politics in general, there are no saints in the United States Senate.
If Democrats want to win the Senate, as I’m sure they do, I think they’re going to rally around the Democratic nominee in Maine, who just won a landslide victory in the primary.
Together, we will defeat oligarchy and create an economy that works for all, not just the few.
The federal government would have the power, through its voting shares and an equal representation on each company’s board, to block decisions that hurt our citizens and to push for policies that help them.
Given the fact that it is the people … whose work is the foundation, whose labor is the foundation of AI, they should have some say in the future of AI.
