Like the communist thugs he has long supported, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Socialist, Vt.) is a relentless teller of falsehoods. The latest appalling example is his declaration that artificial intelligence software developed by tech companies is “a public resource,” even though it is created by private organizations and does not belong to the government. This Sanders falsehood is used to justify his draft plan for the government to seize half the shares of what he deems “systemically important” AI companies. One naturally wonders—if he actually believes his false claim—why he’s not demanding that government seize all of the shares. Even Sen. Sanders probably understands that AI companies would be worthless without the hardworking, creative people inside them and that a total seizure would cause everyone to flee. Yet in his draft legislation the Vermont socialist treats the entrepreneurs and engineers developing the world’s most amazing technology as nothing but criminals. His text
reads: A small number of oligarchs have essentially stolen the creative work of hundreds of millions of people – writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists, and ordinary citizens – without permission, acknowledgment, or compensation in order to control the majority of economic value created by artificial intelligence… Artificial intelligence is built on the collective knowledge of humanity and the wealth it generates must benefit humanity. What a despicable deception Mr. Sanders
has employed to seize the work of others. In fact he’s the one trying to steal assets from their rightful owners.
