As the US midterms approach, AI is going to emerge as a key issue concerning voters

Following the Trump Administration's order limiting states' ability to regulate AI, Sanders and Schneier argue that it's time for leaders to take firmer stances on the technology. In a piece for The Guardian, they write: "Any policy discussions about AI should include the individual harms associated with job loss, as employers seek to replace laborers with machines. It should also include the systemic economic risks associated with concentrated and supercharged AI investment, the democratic risks associated with the increased power in monopolistic and politically influential tech companies, and the degradation of civic functions like journalism and education by AI. In order for our free market to function in the public interest, the companies amassing wealth and profiting from AI must be forced to take ownership of, and internalize, these costs."
