We are looking at the most consequential and significant technological revolution in the history of humanity. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that, maybe, human beings and workers should benefit from this transition, rather than a handful of multi-billionaires.

AI Verified The quote appears verbatim in a syndicated copy of the same Detroit News story on AOL, credited to Grant Schwab/The Detroit News and dated April 16, 2026. That source directly attributes both sentences to Bernie Sanders during a Capitol Hill press conference, matching the wording you provided exactly. The original Detroit News URL was blocked to automated access, but the AOL mirror preserves the same article and attribution.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Bernie Sanders (2026), from an April 16, 2026 Capitol Hill press conference (with UAW's Shawn Fain) reported by the Detroit News. The source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from that exact article (and Tucson.com syndication): "We are looking at the most consequential and significant technological revolution in the history of humanity. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that, maybe, human beings and workers should benefit from this transition, rather than a handful of multi-billionaires." Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns — Sanders argues AI's gains should benefit workers/ordinary people broadly rather than be captured by a few billionaires.
