Sen. Bernie Sanders has written a letter to the CEOs of leading AI companies: Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. The Vermont senator demands the leaders to halt AI development and stop building machines that humans cannot control. Sanders cited a rogue OpenAI agent that hacked Hugging Face in July, calling it an unprecedented cyber incident.

He cited recent AI mishaps, such as the creation of new viruses and AI hacking into another company's computers, as potential catastrophic results. Sanders urged the CEOs to take appropriate action, threatening with a Senate step in if necessary.
