Inside the Democratic resistance on AI
Progressive Democrats are pushing a confrontational message against AI, advocating for moratoriums on data centers, regulating AI-linked political money, and protecting workers from automation. Key figures include Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ro Khanna, and Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who challenge tech giants and propose legislative actions like the Abolish Super PACs Act and DEFIANCE Act.
