Bernie Sanders pointed to the increasing use of artificial intelligence in various industries and emphasized that this technology can significantly impact jobs and people's daily lives.

Need for Public Discussions on Artificial Intelligence
Sanders emphasized the necessity of holding public discussions about artificial intelligence and its role in the future of society, saying: "We need a national dialogue to understand how we can use this technology for the benefit of the people. We must ensure that artificial intelligence does not become a tool of power that only benefits a select few." He also stressed the importance of collaboration between the government, industries, and civil society to create a more sustainable and equitable future.
