flag Bernie Sanders warns AI and automation could displace nearly 100 million U.S. jobs in the next decade, urging policy reforms to protect workers.

flag Sen. Bernie Sanders warns that AI and automation could displace nearly 100 million U.S. jobs over the next decade, citing a Senate committee report projecting high risks for workers in fast food, trucking, accounting, and healthcare. flag The report, based on AI modeling, estimates up to 89% of fast food workers, 64% of accountants, and 47% of truck drivers could be affected, as companies like Amazon and Anthropic explore workforce reductions. flag Sanders calls for policies like shorter workweeks, worker board representation, stronger unions, and a “robot tax” to ensure benefits are shared. flag While experts caution that job losses may be gradual and involve task augmentation rather than outright replacement, growing worker anxiety over AI’s impact underscores the need for proactive policy responses.
