Sanders and Bannon unite at Pro-Human Assembly to demand urgent AI legislation
In a rare bipartisan alliance, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon co-headlined the Future of Life Institute’s Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, D.C., demanding binding safety rules and a slowdown in AI development. Joined by former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon and actress Ashley Judd, the event highlighted cross-ideological concern over AI risks, including loss of human control and catastrophic consequences. Sanders urged President Trump to negotiate a development pause with China, while Bannon called for executive action and a chip embargo on China.
