Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders joins Ben Meiselas to issue a stark warning about the accelerating AI revolution and how it could upend America as we know it.

He explains why working people across the country, young and old, are sounding the alarm long before Washington does, and what solutions we must fight for now to prevent an era where billionaires prosper while everyone else is left behind.
