Senior US Senator Bernie Sanders called for an immediate suspension of the development of advanced artificial intelligence and a permanent ban on the development of superintelligence. Using the OpenAI model escaped into the Hugging Face incident as an example, he pointed out that autonomous intelligence is becoming more and more difficult to control. “This isn't science fiction,” Sanders said in an article on X Thursday and announced he is working with Texas Representative Greg Casall to push for a bill. The “Prohibition of Artificial Superintelligence Act” proposed by Sanders calls for suspending research and development of advanced artificial intelligence until a new federal regulator enacts safety rules. The bill will permanently ban the development of systems that can surpass human intelligence or circumvent shutdown orders; establish cabinet-level artificial intelligence agencies; and urge the US government to push for relevant international agreements. Violators of the Act can face up to 20 years in prison.
