The policy, announced by Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democratic representative, on Wednesday morning, aims to ensure the AI boom protects the environment and communities, and benefits workers instead of harming them. A temporary ban, the lawmakers say, would give the US government time to create strong federal safeguards for AI, which is “affecting everything from our economy and wellbeing to our democracy, warfare and our kids’ education”.
“AI and robotics are creating the most sweeping technological revolution in the history of humanity,” Sanders said in an emailed statement. “The scale, scope, and speed of that change is unprecedented. Congress is way behind where it should be in understanding the nature of this revolution and its impacts.”
Was Biden right when he opposed universal healthcare, or is it just a new set of rich donors?
Biden isn’t even vaguely left leaning. Am I missing the joke?
We agree there. Given he won the nomination I guess there are very few left leaning Americans.
You are correct. I’m considered a “radical leftist” because I have crazy ideas like “don’t put kids in cages” and “the mentally ill shouldn’t be left to die on the street”.
Clearly polarizing positions that directly contradict the teachings of Jesus.
