US Political Figures and AI Experts Converge on AI Risk Discourse Amidst 'Apocalyptic' Rhetoric

The emergence of US political figures Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Steve Bannon as 'co-actors' with AI experts like Google DeepMind's Gemma, Nvidia, and Redwood Research Greenblatt, alongside the Human Override Assembly, signals a significant broadening of the AI risk discourse. This unusual convergence suggests a potential effort to integrate diverse political perspectives into the ongoing debate about AI's 'apocalyptic' rhetoric, moving beyond purely technical or international organization-led discussions. The inclusion of such prominent and often ideologically opposed figures indicates a recognition of AI's societal and political implications reaching across the spectrum.
