He warned that the advancement of robotic soldiers is approaching rapidly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-cop-state-spox-offers-herself-up-as-view-cohost\/\" title=\"Anti-Cop State Spox Offers Herself Up as \u2018View\u2019 Cohost\">raising ethical questions<\/a> about the reduced human cost in war and its consequences on peace. Sanders also expressed concerns about AI being controlled by powerful corporations, advocating for breaking up major companies like OpenAI to ensure AI benefits ordinary people rather than enriching billionaires. He highlighted worries over AI&#8217;s influence on human relationships, especially among youth who may turn to AI companionship instead of human interaction. Sanders&#8217; warnings are part of a broader conversation in Washington about regulating AI to prevent misuse by elites. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has called for a unified federal AI regulatory standard to replace varying state regulations, aiming to maintain U.S. leadership in the global AI race. Sanders stresses the need for extensive public debate on AI&#8217;s societal and ethical effects as the technology becomes increasingly integrated into daily life and military operations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Sanders warns AI spells &lsquo;crazy&rsquo; implications for warfare and humanity: &lsquo;Robotic soldiers&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2369259\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bernie-sanders\/\">Bernie Sanders <\/a>(I-VT) urged Congress to have more robust conversations about the future of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a>, predicting the rapidly advancing technology will continue to carry sweeping implications for the United States and the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I see growing awareness, but I don&rsquo;t think Congress is moving anywhere near fast enough,&rdquo; the Vermont senator said during an interview, speaking about AI&rsquo;s effect on global warfare, power dynamics, and relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3891614\/schumer-trump-doj-release-epstein-files\/\">Schumer says Trump DOJ can&#8217;t &#8216;f*** around&#8217; in releasing Epstein files: &#8216;I don&#8217;t trust Bondi&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3891534\/thune-senate-gop-backlash-arctic-frost-surveillance-provision\/\">Thune fields Senate GOP backlash over &#8216;Arctic Frost&#8217; surveillance provision<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3891393\/epstein-files-bill-trump-desk-senate-green-light\/\">Epstein files bill headed to Trump&#8217;s desk after Senate gives green light<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>As the once-novel technology takes root in systems large and small, Sanders called on leaders to consider how AI will change war, and what that means for humanity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think we are not all that far away from the development of robotic soldiers,&rdquo; <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/tech-news\/bernie-sanders-ai-deepen-inequality-reshape-war-rcna244341\">he told<\/a> NBC News, as the Pentagon is <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3470790\/grok-pentagon-use-x-ai-elon-musk\/\">increasingly molding<\/a> AI into the military&rsquo;s infrastructure. &ldquo;Right now, politicians &mdash; at least sometimes &mdash; have to worry about loss of life when they decide to go to war. If you don&rsquo;t have to worry about loss of life, and what you worry about is loss of robots, what does that mean for issues of war and peace globally?

Leading companies such as OpenAI, which operates ChatGPT, should be broken up, the senator said, as he appeared to endorse a form of technology redistribution that would benefit &ldquo;ordinary people.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When I talk about breaking these [companies] up, I mean creating a situation where this new technology is designed to benefit ordinary people, not just designed by a handful of billionaires to make them even richer,&rdquo; Sanders said, later expressing fear that AI has given &ldquo;people on top extraordinary control when they have that knowledge.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sanders is just one of many voices in Washington pushing for expanded government control over AI, a tactic they believe will prevent powerful individuals from controlling and shaping information and reality in harmful ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump on Tuesday demanded<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3891375\/trump-woke-ai-one-federal-standard-regulation\/\"> tighter federal oversight <\/a>of state regulations in order to ensure any restrictions are in line with the White House&rsquo;s priorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Overregulation by the States is threatening to undermine this Growth Engine.
