Bernie Sanders criticizes AI as'the most consequential technology in humanity' US senator Bernie Sanders amplified his recent criticism of artificial intelligence on Sunday, explicitly linking the financial ambition of "the richest people in the world" to economic insecurity for millions of Americans - and calling for a potential moratorium on new datacenters . Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic party, said on CNN's State of the Union that he was "fearful of a lot" when it came to AI. And the senator called it "the most consequential technology in the history of humanity" that will "transform" the US and the world in ways that had not been fully discussed. "If there are no jobs and humans won't be needed for most things, how do people get an income to feed their families, to get healthcare or to pay the rent?" Sanders said. "There's not been one serious word of discussion in the Congress about that reality."

The influential progressive third party announced Thursday that it was putting out a recruitment call for candidates specifically opposed to data centers. The Working Families Party said Thursday that it is putting out a specific recruitment call for people who are organizing against data centers in their communities to run for office. The announcement comes amid a period of heightened political turmoil around data centers, as some high-profile Democrats wade into the fight. Earlier this week, three Democrats in the Senate sent letters seeking information from Big Tech companies about how data centers impact electricity bills, while senator Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont, became the first national politician to call for a moratorium on data center construction. "We see our role as responding to what working families and working people are concerned about, what issues are keeping them up at night," says Ravi Mangla, the national press secretary for the Working Families Party. "We would be ignoring the needs of our constituents if we were not responding to the issue of data centers and their impacts on communities."

After Hall of Fame athlete Deion Sanders' announcement that he battled bladder cancer, doctors are sharing warning signs to monitor. Sanders, who is currently head football coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, spoke about his medical struggles during a Monday press conference held at Folsom Field in Boulder. The former NFL and MLB star, 57, appeared alongside his care team and representatives from University of Colorado Health (UC Health) and University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (CU Anschutz). Sanders was diagnosed with "very high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer," but is now cancer-free, according to a statement from his oncologist. It was very high-grade and invading through the bladder wall," said Dr. Janet Kukreja, urological oncology director at CU Anshutz. "I am pleased to report that the results from the surgery are that he is cured from the cancer." Head coach Deion Sanders of the University of Colorado speaks about his journey beating bladder cancer during a press conference in the Touchdown Club at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, on July 28, 2025. The oncologist noted that Sanders' type of cancer has a very high rate of recurrence and progression. Treating the disease within the bladder would require a long series of treatments over a three-year period, and there would still be a 50% chance of the cancer coming back. The cancer could also have spread to the muscle, the doctor said, which happens in about half of cases. "Only about 10% of people live five years, even with our current medical treatment, if it metastasizes," she said. Together with his care team, Sanders made the decision to have a bladder removal, in which surgeons performed a "full robot-assisted laparoscopic bladder removal" and created a new bladder. "It is a new way of life.

Democrat Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said the U.S. has become an "oligarchic society" while responding to President Donald Trump's address to a joint Congress Tuesday evening. "The Trump administration is not hiding it," Sanders said in a streamed response to Trump's address Tuesday. "The Trump administration is a government of the billionaire class by the billionaire class, and for the billionaire class. Notwithstanding some of their rhetoric, this is a government that could care less about ordinary Americans and the working families of our country. My friends, we are no longer moving toward oligarchy. We are living in an oligarchic society."

Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has the latest on the pressure on Biden to respond to the attack that killed three U.S. service members, on Special Report. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will on Friday take part in the dignified transfer of the remains of three troops killed in the Iran-backed militia attack in Jordan last weekend. The Bidens will join the grieving families of the three American service members who died when a drone struck a base, known as Tower 22, near the demilitarized zone on the border between Jordan and Syria. The Iraqi border is only six miles away. The fallen troops were Sgt.

During a call with the parents of fallen service member Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, Biden claimed he "lost" his son, Beau Biden, to the war in Iraq. President Biden repeated a dubious claim about the death of his son, Beau Biden, during a call with the parents of a U.S. service member who was recently killed in an attack on a base in Jordan near the border with Syria. While speaking on Tuesday to the parents of 24-year-old Specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, who lost her life in an Iran-backed drone strike this month in northeast Jordan that killed three service members total and injured 25 others, Biden said he lost his son to the war in Iraq. During the call, which was first shared by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Biden told Shawn Sanders and Oneida Oliver-Sanders that their daughter was being posthumously promoted to sergeant.

Oneida and Shawn Sanders remember their daughter, 24-year-old Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, as a goal-oriented and competitive person who loved serving her country. The parents of one of the U.S. soldiers killed in a drone strike in Jordan spoke out Tuesday morning about the loss of their daughter, as they await a phone call from President Biden. Kennedy's parents, Oneida and Shawn Sanders joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss the unexpected loss and how they want America to respond to the deadly attack that took their daughter's life. "As a grieving parent, I would not want to see any other parent go through what we're going through right now, but given the circumstances, our child and the others who lost their lives are considered heroes in this situation," Oneida said.

The behaviour of multi-agent learning in competitive network games is often studied within the context of zero-sum games, in which convergence guarantees may be obtained. However, outside of this class the behaviour of learning is known to display complex behaviours and convergence cannot be always guaranteed. Nonetheless, in order to develop a complete picture of the behaviour of multi-agent learning in competitive settings, the zero-sum assumption must be lifted. Motivated by this we study the Q-Learning dynamics, a popular model of exploration and exploitation in multi-agent learning, in competitive network games. We determine how the degree of competition, exploration rate and network connectivity impact the convergence of Q-Learning. To study generic competitive games, we parameterise network games in terms of correlations between agent payoffs and study the average behaviour of the Q-Learning dynamics across all games drawn from a choice of this parameter. This statistical approach establishes choices of parameters for which Q-Learning dynamics converge to a stable fixed point. Differently to previous works, we find that the stability of Q-Learning is explicitly dependent only on the network connectivity rather than the total number of agents. Our experiments validate these findings and show that, under certain network structures, the total number of agents can be increased without increasing the likelihood of unstable or chaotic behaviours.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' proposal to restrict the public's access to records about her administration, travel and security stumbled at the outset of a special legislative session that convened Monday, with lawmakers trying to rework the legislation in the face of growing criticism that it erodes the state's open records law. The House and Senate ended the day without any action on the legislation, one of several items Sanders placed on the agenda for the special session she announced Friday. The Senate scuttled plans to hold a committee hearing Monday night on the bill, as lawmakers worked on revising the proposed changes to the state's Freedom of Information Act.

The UK's new Defence AI Centre is now operational – officials say the new collaborative centre will "enhance Defence's ability to harness the game-changing power of artificial intelligence to achieve strategic outcomes." It has already been examining work on uncrewed ground vehicles and more covert drones. The Defence AI Centre (DAIC) has a "federated, collaborative model" the Ministry of Defence (MOD) says. Work by its AI project teams will be split across three of its existing organisations: Defence Digital, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, and Defence Equipment & Support's Future Capability Group. The Defence AI centre was first discussed publicly by General Sir Patrick Sanders, Commander of Strategic Command in May 2021 in a landmark speech in which he said the UK was being confronted by a "technological tsunami" of threats among which "the one ring to rule them all, is Artificial Intelligence…" In that same speech General Sanders said MOD would "adopt and exploit AI for defence at scale", adding that the source of military advantage lies ever less in hardware platforms, and increasingly in the ability to "sense, understand and orchestrate… sensor networks, the data, the PED [processing, exploitation, and dissemination of intelligence] and the effectors: kinetic or non-kinetic" across a given kill-chain.
