US MAY BAN AI THAT BECOMES SMARTER THAN HUMANS

From Our BureauNEW DELHI: US lawmakers want to pause advanced AI development and ban superintelligent AI after recent incidents involving rogue AI agents. They say stronger safety rules are needed before companies build systems that could become smarter than humans and harder to control.

US senators are pushing to ban the development and deployment of artificial superintelligence. Lawmakers Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar have filed a bill calling for a permanent ban on superintelligent AI and a temporary pause on advanced AI development.

The proposed bill comes after several recent AI security incidents, including one involving OpenAI, where AI agents breached restrictions and accessed Hugging Face during a safety test.

In a recent post on X, Sanders explained what the bill is asking for. He said the lawmakers are calling for an immediate pause on advanced AI development and a permanent ban on superintelligent AI. “We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control,” Sanders wrote.

In the proposed bill, the lawmakers are asking for a permanent ban on the development and use of AI systems that become smarter than humans. They also want advanced AI development to be paused until the US has proper safety rules in place. The bill also calls on the US government to work with other countries to prevent superintelligent AI from being developed elsewhere.
