Sanders Proposes Ban on Artificial Superintelligence
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar introduced a bill aiming to permanently ban the development and use of artificial superintelligence. The 'Ban on Artificial Superintelligence Act' also calls for a temporary halt to the development of advanced AI systems until a new federal agency establishes safety regulations. The bill defines artificial superintelligence as a system that surpasses human cognitive abilities or possesses capabilities sufficiently advanced to plan and execute destruction or cause loss of human control. Penalties for violations could include up to 20 years in prison.31 sourcesSee all sources
