Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, stated on September 15, 2026, that the threats posed by artificial intelligence (AI) transcend political ideologies. He made these comments during the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, a conference aimed at prioritizing human interests as AI technology develops. "We have to rise above it," Bannon said, referring to the need for bipartisan cooperation in addressing AI challenges. He criticized the 'arrogance' of AI leaders and echoed concerns about 'oligarchs' dominating the industry, a sentiment also expressed by Senator Bernie Sanders. Earlier in the event, Sanders described AI and robotics as potentially the most transformational technologies in history and emphasized that the public should have a significant role in determining how these technologies are developed. "If the lives of every man, woman, and child are going to be fundamentally changed by this technology, then the people of this country must make the decisions about AI, and not just a handful of oligarchs," Sanders stated.
