Bernie Sanders debates Gen Z on AI adoption, trust gap, and worker protection

More Perfect Union convened Gen Z participants with Senator Bernie Sanders for a discussion on generational attitudes toward artificial intelligence. The segment examines the paradox that Gen Z uses AI tools most frequently while expressing the lowest trust in the technology. The conversation focuses on how AI policy might be shaped to benefit working people rather than concentrate power among large corporations.
