Summary
At a 'Pro-Human Assembly' in Washington, Senator Bernie Sanders and strategist Steve Bannon, despite their opposing political views, both called for restrictions on AI and warned against the concentration of power among tech companies (oligarchs, or a small group controlling an industry). However, they disagreed on how to handle competition with China, which they both framed as a 'cold war.'
