Bernie Sanders reveals the dooms scenario “that’s worry the top expert

Prompt securely promised a future of productivity not indeproted and richly, for senator, the crucial question will not be if technology will change to that change. As a vita-life rights, Sanders to see the Quick Advance of Ai not as a technological revolution, but as the next battle field in the corporate fight.

In a conversation with gizmoda, which revised just with one of the main experts you bring to the world, and the ear unions. He also shared his ai worry about our collective mental health and discussed the “Doomsday” scenario has certain minds in the time worried that humanity.

The conversation has been edited for clarity and formed as Q & A. All citations are verbatim and unfair.

Gizmode: It’s Senator, you have long beaten for workman’s dignity. In a heavievous economy in the form of ai, who believed to be the new definition of significant work?

Sanders sands: Heard, a very good question, and it is not knowing that I can give you a smart answer to her now, but this is saying. What I think it is lost in the discussion above is what we have seen in the last 50 years: a huge growth in the worker’s productivity. Almost all the benefits of that product is go to the corporations and companies that have developed that technology. In fact, the workers today, in reuni influlation-to equate less, and sometimes very much the benefits of working in work employee. That is something I care about.

So the first point is made: Technology and ai is not good or bad. It depends on how it is used, and it depends on that benefits from him. Menu’s menu change political dynamics, benefits have to accrobate people on top of the expensation of people who work. That to me is the most important problem. I want workers to benefit from this new technology, not only people on top.

Historically, meaningful forearm – in the languages of humanity they had to put on the table, by agriculture, to gain, only for surviv. And you will change everything, and want to assured that this creates a better, rich, rich people for ordinary people, not only people on top.

Gizmodo: In terms of protection, which protections are needed for American workers to avoid being left in this transition?

Sanders sands: I think we have to make it clear in a certain wording or another, and some of the universes start negotiating for this. That if worker productive, if, the job you do now becomes more productive with ai, I want the benefits to accrue.

What does that mean? It could mean a shortest work week, a week of work 32 hours, which is what we have totting for, no loss of payment. Again, the main point is the workers have had to benefit of increased productivity, not only the cees. Now, that is not the case therefore, where we change.

Gizmode: It’s If a CEO says: “I automated these jobs and I need fewer workers”, what should I be the answer?

Sanders sands: Exactly. Look, we have to see that this technology of benefit workers rather than just ceai. So if a company develops you allows workers to be more productive, we would like to see is a shortest work of loss without loss.

The other things that worries, that you go beyond the economy and potential of mass work loss, are two very important problems: mental health and human welfare.

Gizmode: It’s What do you want for that, the senator?

Sanders sands: People interact more daily with artificial intelligence, with robotic. What is the impact on mental health and welfare of man?

If you spend the whole day interact with a chatbot rather than talking to friends oa family, what happens to you? What kind of trouble are they developing?

We know that in America now, very young have a breast that interacts with other human beings because they spend so much time on the internet. And discarded people, literally, people in the technology world, that if you can’t make friends, go to a chatbot and you can develop a right friend. “I’m not sure this is good for human beings.

Gizmode: It’s There are a sense people are lost, that you have clump our identity, our role in the fictity …

Sanders sands: Well, do you know the expression: “The operation was a success, unfortunately the patient is dead”?

In this context, the system works well. We develop all kinds of technology: You will be able to do this, you’re able to do it. Unfortunately, human beings have to lose in that development. And become more and more unhappy, more and more unstable, more and more lonely.

So we want to ensure that technology benefit human beings, economically and emotionally. That has to be the driving strength.

Gizmode: It’s Have you talked to CEO Tech or experts on it?

Sanders sands: I have talked with CEO. Funny you mentioned it. I will not mention his name, but I just ruined the phone with one of the main experts. The world in artificial intelligence, two hours ago.

Gizmode: It’s They share your concern? They offered some solutions?

Sanders sands: They are all different. Has done. Someone I talked to yesterday, not so much.

There are differences of opinion. On many major problems. Number one: What impact do you have on the economy? Some people say that there will be massive losses. I tend to agree with them.

Other people don’t say so, new jobs will be created. Will be like any other technological revolution. Lost jobs, created jobs, not such a great deal. So people disagree. It happens to believe that this is not like industrial revolution. I think this could be much more severe.

Second point: this is not science fiction. There is a lot, very well known to one today – those who worry about the man could not control the technology, and that artificial intelligence is to say our company. We cannot control. Can be able to control us. That’s doomasday’s scenary guy and there is a certain concerns about that between very well-known people in the industry.

Gizmode: It’s Are you personally optimistic or pessimistic about ai, for workers, for society?

Sanders sands: That’s a wider question. We have the worst president in the US history in the office now.

They will see, in the world, democracy itself is lying. We see a terrible war in Ukraine, a terrible war in Gaza. So I think this is not a good time for humanity.

I hope that, however – there is ups and downs – what can we turn this around. And by many other things, use artificial intelligence benefits and robotic to improve human life. To ensure we can delete poverty. May all our people can have a decent level of life. This is dable.

The greed of bilioners controls the process. But ordinary people must control the future.

Gizmode: It’s A final question: Do you believe it could be in each fashion to strengthen the union and workers rights, or is inherently a threat?

Sanders sands: I think about this moment is more than a threat. And I think in some ways that is used the political manner of trading in the US has been used in 70 years.

In other words, what patrons say is: “wait, I would like to take a cut. We have to replace. It’s been robotic. It is your choice. It is your choice or that you replace as human workers.

So I think we have to mobilize the movement of commercial union to be in standing dangers against the dangers of the rights of workers.
