Bernie Sanders Advances AI Safety Measures with Senate Briefing and Proposed Legislation
Senator Bernie Sanders is advancing efforts to address AI risks by convening a bipartisan Senate briefing with leading AI safety experts and proposing federal legislation to ban artificial superintelligence. The proposed 'Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act' aims to halt development of AI systems exceeding human cognitive abilities, establish a federal regulatory agency, and enforce a pause on advanced AI until safety measures are in place. These actions follow concerns raised by former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon about insufficient AI safety controls.
