Bernie Sanders Proposes AI Bill: Ban on Superintelligence and Creation of a New Department
Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar have introduced a new bill that would ban artificial superintelligence and establish a federal department.
American politicians Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar have drafted a comprehensive bill that envisions a permanent ban on artificial superintelligence and the suspension of advanced artificial intelligence work until federal security rules are established.
Details and Objectives of the Bill
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders and House Representative Greg Casar introduced a bill that includes the establishment of a Department of Artificial Intelligence to oversee advanced technologies and the ban of artificial superintelligence.
The bill requires the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems to be temporarily suspended until security rules are fully implemented and makes federal approval mandatory for technology deployment.
Penal Sanctions and Political Obstacles
It is stated that in the event of a violation of the rules in the prepared bill, those responsible could face up to twenty years in prison.
Due to the Republican-controlled structure of Congress and President Donald Trump's stance against increasing state regulations in the technology sector, the bill's chances of becoming law appear quite difficult.
