REP RO KHANNA: We need a new tech social contract to reclaim AI from billionaires
Fox News
Congressman argues for AI democratization over tech billionaire control, drawing on Stanford speech with Bernie Sanders to outline workforce protection principles.
We see the future from here. We know what is coming in a way most politicians and D.C. bureaucrats simply can't see. And the question we need to ask ourselves is this: What kind of future are we going to build? Will this future be only for the tech lords or for all of us? We need a program with the boldness and scale of the New Deal, a democratic project for our time. Not to slow innovation, but to ensure its benefits reach every American. Democrat Ro Khanna represents California's 17th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He is author of "Dignity in a Digital Age: Making Tech Work for All of Us" Simon & Schuster (February 1, 2022).
Most Americans feel they have little say in shaping their own future or that of their kids. This has contributed to anger, resentment, and a hopeless cynicism in places across our nation.
A nation cannot survive with islands of prosperity and seas of despair.
