Senator Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon appeared together at a Washington, D.C. event on September 15, 2026, calling on Congress to impose stricter regulations on artificial intelligence.
The gathering, named the "Pro-Human Assembly," brought together figures from opposite ends of the U.S. political spectrum, NPR reported. Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, and Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, shared the platform with a stated focus on limiting the impact of AI.
NBC News reported that the two aimed to persuade Congress to act more quickly on AI curbs.
