Senator Bernie Sanders has called on Congress to regulate artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting polls that show overwhelming public support for safety rules. According to BeInCrypto, Sanders emphasized the need for AI regulation, citing surveys from Semafor and Gallup indicating that 70% of Americans believe AI is advancing too quickly, and 97% support AI safety regulations. Sanders, who introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in March, argues that Congress should prioritize voters over Big Tech interests. Despite his efforts, some lawmakers have criticized the proposal, with Senator John Fetterman and Senator Mark Warner expressing concerns about its impact on U.S. competitiveness with China.
