Sanders took to X to endorse Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) founder Gates’ latest warning about AI, saying the technology poses a "grave threat to jobs and the future of humanity."

"Congress must stand up to the wealth and power of the Big Tech oligarchs," Sanders said, adding, "WE MUST ACT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE."
