AI regulations and federal policies spark debate

Deep divisions exist at the federal level in the US regarding the future and safety of artificial intelligence technologies, as legislative regulatory initiatives clash with administration policies.

Call for a Halt to Artificial Intelligence

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders co-sponsored the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act this month, which envisions a temporary pause on advanced artificial intelligence work.

Sanders pointed out the risk of humanity losing control over artificial intelligence, stating that this situation could result in catastrophe.

The Trump Administration's Approach

President Donald Trump, on the other hand, argues that artificial intelligence development should be supported without restriction in order not to lose global supremacy against China.

Trump stated that he is not concerned about scenarios that could bring about the end of humanity, and that the real danger is losing the artificial intelligence race.

Tension with Anthropic

Anthropic's refusal to open its artificial intelligence models for use by the American military caused a serious friction between the parties.

While the White House described the company as radical left and risky, a federal judge ruled that this measure was unlawful.
