The Artificial Intelligence Bill introduced by Senators Bernie Sanders and Greg Cezar outlines strict measures against developers who fail to comply with orders to halt work in the field of artificial intelligence.

Prison Sentence and Sanctions

Under the bill, software developers and organizations that violate specified bans and halt orders could face up to twenty years in prison.

New Federal Agency Proposal

The bill recommends the establishment of a new cabinet-level federal agency to protect the public from potential dangers of artificial intelligence and to oversee the bans.

International Agreements and the Congressional Process

While the current regulation is expected to face strong opposition in Congress, it aims to globally ban superintelligence through international agreements.
