‼ Some Democrats are calling for a ban on the development of super-intelligent artificial intelligence under the threat of up to 20 years in prison Arizona's House of Representatives representative, Yasmin Ansari, says that stopping the development of advanced artificial intelligence and banning super-intelligence should be "one of the top priorities of the Democrats' agenda from day one." A bill introducing just such measures was introduced by Bernie Sanders and Greg Cassar in September. According to the draft law: - The development and application of super-intelligent AI (but) will be prohibited.
- The development of advanced AI systems will be delayed until a new federal regulator establishes rules and procedures for validating models. - A new artificial intelligence office will be established at the cabinet level that will oversee state-of-the-art models and oversee the removal of dangerous capabilities, such as the ability to ignore shutdown commands.
- Companies that try to circumvent these restrictions will face "forced termination of the company".
- Individuals face up to 20 years in prison Bloomberg.
