Axios reports Senator Bernie Sanders, Steve Bannon and industry figures including a former OpenAI/Anthropic researcher will speak at a Future of Life Institute conference on Tuesday promoting a human-centered AI agenda. The institute’s declaration calls for protecting human autonomy, preventing concentration of power and imposing corporate accountability for AI. The former researcher resigned from Anthropic over safety concerns and is scheduled to speak. Bannon said tech leaders accelerated development without safeguards. The event follows a series of AI-related cybersecurity incidents and weekend calls from leading AI figures for a slowdown in development.
