CCP TOOLS: Sanders, Casar Bill Would Ban Superintelligence, Pause Frontier AI. “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, a bill that would permanently prohibit development and deployment of superintelligent AI, pause advanced AI research until a federal regulator sets safety rules, and stand up a cabinet-level AI oversight agency. Individuals who violate the ban would face up to 20 years in prison. Corporate entities would face what the press release from Sanders’s office calls the ‘corporate death penalty,’ penalties the sponsors compare to those for unlawfully developing nuclear weapons.”
