Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) wasn\u2019t in office for the advent of the light bulb. We might all still be reading by candlelight.<\/p>\n<p data-apitype=\"text\" data-contentid=\"NKL2GMBAFVCTBPJEGSPB2RTVPQ\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-heFNVF wpds-c-heFNVF-iPJLV-css overrideStyles font-copy\" dir=\"null\">On Wednesday, the 84-year-old formally introduced legislation that would impose a federal moratorium on all new data centers until artificial intelligence can be brought to heel. Sanders wants to hold innovation hostage until AI companies are prohibited from \u201creleasing harmful products into the world,\u201d whatever that means.
