'Hit brakes, ban superintelligence': US Senator warns Trump, Xi on AI race after alarm by top industry leaders
'You hit brakes, ban superintelligence': US Senator warns Trump, Xi on AI
US Senator Bernie Sanders has called for a moratorium on the development of advanced AI and a ban on artificial superintelligence, following alarming warnings from prominent industry figures. In a post on X, Sanders cited concerns from AI leaders such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who now believe that AI development must be slowed and the pace "paced."
Sanders stated that this would be a good start, but was not sufficient to address the risks posed by increasingly powerful AI systems. He likened the situation to a race towards a cliff, emphasizing that when humanity's future is at stake, a pause on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence are necessary.
Sanders urged US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to negotiate a treaty to implement these measures during their upcoming AI summit.
