U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has sent letters to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, urging the leading artificial intelligence companies to pause AI development. In the letters, Sanders warns that if the enterprises do not act voluntarily, lawmakers will be forced to step in. He argues that development of machines beyond human control should be halted in order to protect human interests. Sanders also points to earlier statements from the three firms, which had said they would stop or suspend development if system risks could not be safely managed. According to an Axios report, researchers have recently used AI to develop new viruses, while Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic have disclosed cases of models behaving in an 'out-of-control' manner, adding to the public's concerns. Despite this, AI legislation championed by Sanders is unlikely to pass in the current session of Congress. PANews reported this on August 10, citing Axios.
