All right, joining me today on IHIP News is a long time progressive champion in Vermont.

Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Sanders, thank you so much for joining me.

We have a lot to discuss, so let's just rip into it.

Donald Trump is on his way to China right now with an entourage of billionaires

whose combined net worth exceeds $870 billion. And I thought, hmm, I wonder out of all of the

Americans that I know of who might have something to say about this. And I thought about you. Well, I think what Trump's

friends on Air Force, one, are telling us is, number one, these are guys who are pushing

artificial intelligence and robotics. So I would ask the American people to take a

deep breath and think, do you believe that Elon Musk and the rest of these guys are staying up

nights worrying about what AI and robotics is going to do to working families throughout the country?

Is that really their goal? Are they coming up with a new vaccine, a new

medicine to improve lives? Between you and me, I don't think so. I think these very, very wealthy

and powerful people want to become even wealthier and more powerful, and that should concern

us. Having said that, I hope very much,

as someone who is concerned about the impact of AI

in many respects, I would hope that President Trump

and President Xi will talk about the existential threat

about what might happen if AI escapes human control and what that will mean.

Is there many scientists who worry about that?

And I think there needs to be a coming together of China and the United States,

other countries, to prevent that.

And what do you think AI means to a lot of working class jobs?
