Sen. Bernie Sanders Unveils Bill to Ban Artificial Superintelligence and Create Department of AI
The measure would impose federal approval for advanced AI deployment and carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison.
- On Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar unveiled legislation to ban artificial superintelligence and establish a new Department of Artificial Intelligence to oversee advanced AI development.
- The proposed legislation defines artificial superintelligence as systems exceeding human cognitive ability, mandating a pause on advanced development until the Department establishes federal safety rules.
- Supporting the bill, OpenAI researcher Juan Felipe Cerón Uribe warned that "superintelligence could either go extremely right or extremely wrong," while Google DeepMind engineer Swante Scholz endorsed the measure.
- Despite expert endorsements, the bill faces long odds in the Republican-controlled Congress, where Sanders argued President Donald Trump has "very little understanding of what this issue is about."
- Public concern about AI's environmental impact has risen to 53% from 41% last year, positioning the technology as a central issue for the 2028 presidential campaign.
