Sanders, Casar Introduce Bill to Ban Artificial Superintelligence

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar are introducing legislation to ban artificial superintelligence, pause advanced AI development until safety rules are set, and create a Department of Artificial Intelligence. The bill, first shared with AP, would require federal approval for deploying advanced AI and impose penalties up to 20 years in prison. Some AI company employees endorse the measure, while President Trump has resisted oversight.
