Brad Reed of Common Dreams reports: “Sen. Bernie Sanders has declared artificial intelligence “a threat to everything the American people hold dear” in a Thursday editorial published by the Wall Street Journal.

Sanders (I-Vt.) began his piece by citing recent polls showing Americans are deeply apprehensive about the impact that AI will have on the economy and their lives, and he said that this feeling was entirely justified given what the people who currently control the technology aim to do with it.
