Comment by Bernie Sanders
U.S. Senator from Vermont
One might think that, given the very real threat to humanity, countries might come together to regulate this technology through an international treaty, like we did with nuclear weapons at the height of the Cold War. [...] We need international cooperation between the nations of the world to prevent the possibility of a cataclysmic development. We need to cooperate. We need dialogue.

Verified via web search. The Hill blocks WebFetch (403), but search confirms the source article exists ('Bernie Sanders warns of AI's existential risk, calls for US-China cooperation') and contains both clauses of the quote: the analogy to nuclear weapons / Cold War international treaty, and the call for international cooperation to prevent 'cataclysmic development'. Author attribution is correct - Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT). Vote 'for' on 'Nations should negotiate a binding international treaty on AI safety, similar to nuclear non-proliferation' aligns perfectly with the quote. Year 2026 is current.
