Comment by Bernie Sanders
U.S. Senator from Vermont
A moratorium will give us time to ensure AI is safe and effective, time to protect our privacy and well-being, time to defend our democracy, and time to make sure the economic gains of this technology benefit the general population, not just a handful of billionaires.

Verified via web search. The exact quote appears in Bernie Sanders' op-ed "AI Is a Threat to Everything the American People Hold Dear" on sanders.senate.gov (the source URL provided, which returned 403 to WebFetch but is confirmed by independent search results). Published April 2026, matching year. Vote alignment: Sanders' quote explicitly supports ensuring the economic gains of AI "benefit the general population, not just a handful of billionaires," which aligns with a "for" vote on the statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth."
