31:38Now PlayingUS News: A major warning from Capitol Hill as Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sound the alarm on artificial intelligence, calling it a “profound threat to the human race.” In a fiery announcement, the two leaders ripped into Donald Trump’s handling of AI, accusing Big Tech and political allies of pushing a dangerous, unregulated expansion for profit.
Sanders and AOC unveiled the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Moratorium Act, a bold new bill aimed at pausing the rapid development of AI until strict national safeguards are in place. “AI and robotics are creating the most sweeping technological revolution in human history,” Sanders said, warning that Congress is far behind in understanding its consequences. He added, “We cannot allow billionaire Big Tech oligarchs to reshape our economy, democracy, and the future of humanity without oversight.”
Ocasio-Cortez echoed the concerns, highlighting real-world harms already unfolding. “We have seen AI used for surveillance, deepfake abuse, and rising energy costs in communities,” she said. “All of this is happening because there are no federal regulations. We must choose humanity over profit.”
The proposed legislation would:
- Impose an immediate federal moratorium on AI data centers
- Ensure AI systems are safe before public release
- Protect jobs and economic benefits for workers—not just Big Tech elites
- Prevent rising electricity costs and environmental damage
- Ban exports of AI infrastructure to countries without safety protections
Lawmakers argue the bill is necessary to slow down a reckless global AI race that could cost millions of jobs and pose existential risks to humanity. Over 100 U.S. communities and multiple states are already pushing similar restrictions, signaling growing public concern.
Even top figures in the tech world have raised alarms. More than 1,000 experts—including Elon Musk—have previously called for a pause in AI development, warning of the risks if the technology advances unchecked.
Watch the full breakdown as Sanders and AOC take on Trump’s AI agenda, Big Tech influence, and the urgent fight to regulate one of the most powerful technologies in history
