‘It doesn’t take a genius to say, 'slow it down'': Bernie Sanders unveils bill to ban artificial superintelligence

Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar are introducing legislation to ban artificial superintelligence. This bill also proposes the creation of a federal agency to oversee advanced AI. The move comes as some industry leaders are urging Congress to implement guardrails on the rapidly advancing technology, reflecting a growing concern about the unchecked development of AI.

This bill marks the first time U.S. lawmakers have proposed an outright ban on artificial superintelligence, unlike previous legislative efforts focused on regulation.
