Bernie Sanders Says the Potential Danger of AI Is "Probably Greater" than Nuclear Weapons
Sanders, Bannon and other skeptics said unchecked development could outpace any regulation as OpenAI and Anthropic leaders urged a slowdown.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon addressed Washington's Pro-Human Assembly, warning that unchecked artificial intelligence development poses a severe, existential threat to humanity.
- The event followed the resignation of former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who warned last week that major developers are 'gambling with our lives' through unchecked AI advancement.
- Sanders proposed legislation to ban superintelligence and a U.S.-China treaty, while Bannon argued that 'to slow down the pace' of AI development, the president must take direct executive action.
- President Donald Trump dismissed AI concerns as a 'hoax,' while House Speaker Mike Johnson cautioned that restricting development could disadvantage the United States against China's technological edge.
- Although Sanders and Bannon railed against tech 'oligarchs,' their collaboration faces significant hurdles as Congress remains divided on whether to prioritize AI safety regulations or maintain competitive advantage against China.
