Comment by Bernie Sanders

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.

Verification History

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.
