Bernie Sanders issues urgent warning to Americans that your job will not be protected from AI

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is again in the firing line

While we're not quite in the realms of Black Mirror, where artificial intelligence is actively trying to kill us (that we know of), there are immediate concerns that AI will soon be taking over our jobs.

In a world where AI can do the job of a writer, bookkeeper, or customer service representative at the flick of a switch, you're right to be worried that you could soon be out of work.

We've already covered the jobs most 'at risk' from AI, and while the likes of lawyers and doctors are less likely to be replaced by machines, it feels like no one is truly safe in 2025.

As the recent Meta layoffs have shown, the rollout of AI in major corporations could be another nail in the coffin of the American workforce at a time when President Donald Trump is supposed to be bringing manufacturing back to the USA.

Then again, with the POTUS accused of using AI to work out the recent trade tariffs, is it really surprising?

Now, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has issued a stark warning about the future of AI and how Americans should be worried about their jobs.

Speaking to CNN at a town hall meeting, the long-serving Democrat took aim at Elon Musk and his companies, including SpaceX and Tesla.

Calling out Musk's position as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency and how he's been tasked with slashing the federal workforce, Sanders said: "If Musk can do this to federal employees, some of whom are in unions, some of whom have worked for years, what do you think he's going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics comes for your job?"

A passionate Sanders added: "Guess what? The job you have today ain't going to be here in 10 or 15 years.

"And you think Musk and his friends are saying, 'Oh my goodness, how do we protect American workers from the explosion in technology we're seeing?' They don't give a damn about you."

Sanders reiterated that if federal workers can be treated like this, we should "think about what they could do to people in the private sector."

Despite criticisms that Sanders is a 'luddite' (against new technology or ways of working), he concluded that "technology has many positive things to say."

Elsewhere, Sanders discussed those controversial Trumpenomics and said tariffs can be helpful when used 'selectively'.

At least Sanders and Musk can seemingly agree on one thing, with the former saying: "But to arbitrarily, out of nowhere, come up with a tariff that they can’t even justify or explain to virtually every country on Earth is absolutely counterproductive."

Ironically, AI itself has called out the tariffs and predicted that Trump's rumbling global trade war could trigger World War III.

Sanders had hit the road alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as part of his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour that hopes to push progressive agendas across the USA.

Calling Americans to action, he championed the public's hunger for change and concluded: "We have to take on the corporate interests that are controlling our political system."

Sanders obviously has some concerns about what AI could mean for our jobs, and if they don't exist in the next 10 years after Musk's AI bots have come to replace us, it won't do those dead internet theories any good.
