Sanders Expected to Bring AI to Maine Stage

Sen. Bernie Sanders is set to bring his Fighting Oligarchy tour to Orono, Maine, on May 24, where he is expected to touch on artificial intelligence and its growing impact on workers, wages and corporate power. Sanders has increasingly framed rapid advances in technology as part of a broader debate over who benefits from economic change, making AI a likely theme in his remarks.

The event is expected to draw supporters and local activists as Sanders continues his national message on inequality and the concentration of power in the hands of large companies. If he references AI directly, it would fit his broader critique of technology being used to boost profits while leaving workers behind, a message that has become a regular part of his public appearances.
