Bernie Sanders has called for a four
Bernie Sanders is trying to force a choice before it’s too late:
let AI deepen inequality and militarize the planet, or harness it to rewrite the social contract.
His Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act is more than a labor proposal; it’s a line in the sand over who owns the gains of automation.
Either workers trade rising productivity for time, dignity, and stability, or those gains flow upward to a tiny class of tech titans.
At the same time, Sanders’ fear of robotic soldiers and mass job displacement exposes a moral vacuum in how AI is being deployed.
If machines fight our wars and take our jobs, political leaders could wage conflict and restructure economies without public consent or sacrifice.
His warning is blunt: ignore AI’s power, and it will quietly erase both livelihoods and democracy. Confront it, and it could fund a freer, shorter, more human life.
