Artificial intelligence will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of the world. It will profoundly affect the life of every man, woman and child in our country. It will bring \u2014 and is already bringing \u2014 unimaginable changes to our economy, our democracy, our emotional well-being, our environment and how we educate and raise our children. Further, there is a very real fear that as A.I. becomes smarter than humans it could eventually function independently, with potentially catastrophic consequences.<\/p>\n
The question, then, is not whether A.I. will change the world. It will. The question is: Who will own and control that future? Who will benefit from it, and who will be hurt by it? Will A.I. be used to make life better for working families? Will it enrich our quality of life? Will it help us eliminate poverty, extend life expectancies and solve the climate crisis? Or will the future of humanity be determined by a handful of billionaires who have promoted and developed A.I., with virtually no democratic input, who stand to become even richer and more powerful than they are today?<\/p>\n
That is the choice before us.<\/p>\n
Let us be clear. Artificial intelligence was not created out of thin air. The data and language used by generative A.I. tools didn\u2019t just pop into Sam Altman\u2019s head or Elon Musk\u2019s imagination. A.I. is built on our collective intelligence: our books, songs, artwork, journalism, computer code, scientific research, videos, conversations, images and ideas spanning generations. That is not just the opinion of Bernie Sanders. According to<\/a> Mr. Altman, the head of OpenAI, A.I. models were trained on our \u201ccollective experience, knowledge\u201d and \u201clearnings of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n For the most part, tech oligarchs have fed this knowledge into their A.I. models without permission, without acknowledgment, without compensation. In other words, the creative work of millions of people \u2014 writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary citizens \u2014 has essentially been stolen by some of the wealthiest people in the world. It\u2019s time for us to reclaim it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artificial intelligence will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of the world.
