Sanders and Bannon join forces to urge AI regulation

–

Neutral summary

Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, political foes, have teamed up to call for strict limits on artificial intelligence. Speaking at a Washington conference on Tuesday, they warned of the dangers of "superintelligence" and urged a slowdown in the development of the most advanced systems, though they disagreed on how to achieve that. Sanders said it is "embarrassing" how "ignorant" President Trump is about AI risks, while Republican Senator Thom Tillis dismissed Trump's claim that the AI threat is a "hoax," saying it is "a real thing." Sanders proposed talks with China on a development pause and a freeze on data center construction, while OpenAI backed the FRONTIER Act with mandatory outside safety audits for the first time.
