Artificial Intelligence: Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon Converge on the Need to Regulate, Though They Disagree on How
During a conference in Washington on Tuesday, the Vermont senator and the MAGA-aligned commentator both called for slowing down and regulating the development of artificial intelligence, while defending different approaches.
Democratic Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders and nationalist-populist commentator Steve Bannon expressed convergent concerns on Tuesday during a conference in Washington about the risks posed by rapid artificial intelligence development, according to Le Monde.
The two figures, who typically oppose each other ideologically on all fronts, both called for a slowdown and stricter regulation of technological progress in this field, the newspaper reports.
According to Le Monde, while the two men share the view that regulation is needed in response to what they consider uncontrolled risks, they do not agree on the means to achieve it.
This unexpected convergence between a figure of the American left and a commentator associated with the MAGA movement illustrates, according to the newspaper, the emergence of cross-partisan concerns about artificial intelligence in the United States.
The article does not specify in detail the concrete proposals put forward by each speaker at this conference.
