The text is long, but very easy to OCR using a free online tool (so no excuse for not adding the alt text). Bernie Sanders dixit:
I understand that the billionaire oligarchs who own the Al industry want even more wealth and more power. I get it.
I understand that they are not concerned about the massive job losses this technology will create. I get it.
I understand that they don't worry about the evisceration of privacy rights and the mass collection of personal information. I get it.
But what I don't understand is how anyone can ignore when the world's leading Al scientists tell us that, as Al becomes smarter than humans, it could operate independently of human control - with possible catastrophic results.
Given that oligarchs, like all of us, have families and live on planet earth, I can't understand how they continue to recklessly go forward with an unregulated artificial intelligence they don't even understand.
Greed and making money is one thing. Laying the framework for destroying the planet and human civilization is another.
