Lead report from New York Post
What happened
Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar have introduced legislation aimed at banning artificial superintelligence and pausing advanced artificial intelligence development. The proposed bill would create a new federal agency, the Department of Artificial Intelligence, to oversee advanced technology and implement rigorous federal testing. Meanwhile, reports note that some lawmakers are urging cooperation with China regarding artificial intelligence safety concerns.
Reports across the political spectrum agree that Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar introduced new legislation aimed at addressing artificial intelligence risks by banning superintelligence and pausing certain developments.
Left-leaning and center outlets like Common Dreams, HuffPost, and PBS NewsHour focus primarily on the details of the legislation introduced by Sanders and Casar, noting the proposed creation of a new federal agency. Right-leaning outlets like the New York Post frame the story by emphasizing calls for President Trump to work with China on slowing artificial intelligence development alongside the legislative push. Breitbart News is excluded from this story as it covers an entirely different legislative proposal about Pell Grants.
