Bernie Sanders Reveals the AI ‘Doomsday Scenario’ That Worries Top Experts

Artificial intelligence promises the future of unprecedented productivity and wealth, but for Senator Bernie Sanders, if the technology changes the world, it does not benefit from this change. As a lifetime champion for employees, Sanders sees the rapid progress of the next big battlefield in the fight against the EU technological revolution, but also in the fight against corporate greed and inequality.

The Vermont Senator, who said he was talking to one of the world’s leading AI experts, revealed the fear that the Vermont Senator, the technology will be used to prevent wages, break the associations and further enrich the billionaire. The EU shared his concern over the influence of our collective mental health and discussed the “Resurrection Scenario” concerned that mankind could control its creation.

The conversation is clarified and formatted as a Q & A. All quotes are verbatim and unchanged.

Foalmodo: Senator, you have long been fighting for the dignity. Should you have a new definition of meaningful work in an economy that is increasingly formed by AI?

SenaterWell, this is a very good question, and I don’t know if I can give it a smart answer at the moment, but that’s what I said. When I missed the EU discussion, the last 50 years have seen in the last 50 years: The worker is a great increase in productivity. Almost all of this productivity went to companies that develop corporations and this technology. In fact, today employees, wages with a real inflation-salary, and are very afraid that almost all new benefits of employee productivity will go to people. This is something that worries me very much.

Thus, the first point will be: technology and AI are neither good nor bad. It depends on how it is used, and it depends on whoever benefits. If we do not change political dynamics, the benefits are calculated to people on the expense of people working. This is the most important issue for me. I want the benefit of employees from this new technology, not only people in the head.

Historically, I have forever, people who mean people, put food on the table, put food on the farm, to cultivate food, just to fight food, just got to fight to live. And AI intends to change all this, and we want to make sure that it is better for ordinary people, not the above people, but also a better future.

Gizmodo: In terms of protection, what reserves do you need to avoid behind in this passage for American workers?

Senater: I think we should be clear in a certain formula or part of the other, and for some colleagues begin to negotiate. Employee productivity, if you have, the work you do now get more productive with AI, I want the benefits of calculating you.

What does this mean? A shorter work week, a 32-hour work week, for what we fight, without a loss of payment. Again, the main point should benefit from increasing productivity not only CEOs. Currently, this is not the case, so it’s what we should change.

Foalmodo: A CEO “I need to automate these tasks and need less workers” What should be the answer?

Senater: Full. See, we must see that this technology benefits more than CEOs. Thus, if a company develops AI, which allows employees to be more productive, what we want to see is a shorter work week to pay.

Other things I am concerned about the potential of economy and mass working loss, other things I am concerned with two important issues: mental health and person’s well-being.

Foalmodo: What does this mean by the senator?

Senater: People interact with the artificial intelligence every day, with robotics. What is the influence of man’s mental health and the welfare of man?

If you interact with a chatbot, what happens to you, if you talk to your friends or family all day? What problems are developing?

We know that in the United States, many young people in America have difficulty interacting on the Internet so much time. There are people there, as if there are people in the world of technology, “Apparently, if you can’t make any friends, you can develop a friend, if you can make a chat.” I’m not sure that this is good for man.

Foalmodo: In a sense that people are lost, erase our identity and the role of society …

Senater: Well, do you know the phrase “surgery has been successful, unfortunately?”

In this context, the system works well. We develop all kinds of technology: you will be able to do this, you will be able to do it. Unfortunately, a person intends to lose in this development. And they will be increasingly unhappy, more mentally unstable, and more lonely.

Thus, we want to make sure technology benefit to people both benefits and emotionally. This should be a driving force.

Foalmodo: Tech Ceos or have you spoken for experts about it?

Senater: I’ve talked to CEO. The funny you mentioned that. I will not mention his name, but two hours ago I went out of the phone with one of the world’s leading experts in artificial intelligence.

Foalmodo: Did I share your concern? Did they offer any solution?

Senater: They are all different. Did. No one I talk to yesterday is not so much.

There are differences in opinion. In several main issues. Number one: What influence will the AI affect the economy? Some people say that there will be a mass working loss. I tend to agree with them.

Other people will create new jobs, not so much. Every other technological revolution will be like. Workplaces lost, jobs are not such a big deal. Therefore, people do not agree. I believe this does not like the industrial revolution. I think this can be even harder.

The second point: This is not a science fiction. There is a very informative person, and I just talked about each other today that those who can’t control the technology and are very concerned that artificial intelligence will referee our society. We will not be able to control it. Can handle us. This is a doomsday scenario and there are some concerns about the very well-informed people in the industry.

Foalmodo: Are you a personalist for the AI, employees, pessimists for society?

Senater: This is a wider question. At present, we have the worst president in the history of the United States.

Seeing, democracy is threatened all over the world. A terrible war in Ukraine, we see a terrible war in Gaza. Therefore, I think this is not a great moment for mankind.

I hope we have but up and down – we can convert it. And use the benefits of artificial intelligence and robotics to improve human life among many other things. To make sure to delete poverty. Having a decent living standard of all our people. It is possible to do it.

The greed of billionaires manages the process. But ordinary people must manage the future.

Foalmodo: One final question: Do you believe that the EU can be used to strengthen unity and employee rights in any way or this is a threat to organized labor?

Senater: I think this moment is more danger. And I think I think the bad trade policy in the United States is used in the 70s.

In other words, what will employees say: “See if you want to get the incision in a cut for you.

Therefore, we must mobilize the tractor’s action to be a serviceman in resettling the rights of employees against the EU’s threats.
