The quote clearly supports public involvement in AI decision-making: saying 'the public has got to have a significant seat at the table' implies AI should not be decided by developers alone and aligns with the idea that AI's goals and impacts should be shaped through broader public deliberation.

The quote says "The public has got to have a significant seat at the table," which clearly supports public involvement in shaping AI so it benefits people rather than being left to developers alone.

AP News contains the exact sentence verbatim and attributes it to Sanders with “Sanders said” in the story body; AP’s wire entry shows the story date as Wed Jun 17 2026 UTC, matching 2026-06-17, and AP’s short article URL redirects to the provided slug URL, so the stored fields are consistent.
