Bernie Sanders wants to ban superintelligence

Bernie Sanders wants to permanently ban artificial superintelligence. Not regulate it a little, not put a warning label on it: ban its development and deployment. And the important word here is superintelligence, because he is not calling for shutting down assistants that draft emails, translate texts, or help with programming. Exactly. Sanders and Congressman Greg Casar announced an initiative called the Prohibit Artificial Superintelligence Act. Their proposal combines two ideas: a permanent ban on systems that far exceed human capabilities and a temporary pause on advanced AI development. Temporary, but until there is a federal regulator and safety rules. In other words, the proposal does not call for the pause to end automatically in six months just because. The logic is fairly straightforward: if a technology can reach capabilities that its creators do not understand or control well, we need to build the brakes first and then accelerate.
