TIME reported that US Senator Bernie Sanders plans to introduce the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, a proposal that would prohibit the development of AI systems surpassing human intelligence and pause other advanced AI research until safety rules are in place. In the UK, lawmaker Alex Sobel has introduced a bill in the House of Commons described as the first attempt in a G7 parliament to ban “superintelligent AI,” defining it as a system that could weaken state power. Both proposals call on the US and UK governments to pursue a global treaty banning the development of superintelligent AI worldwide. They would also grant governments new powers to monitor and restrict potential “precursor systems.” ControlAI took part in drafting the legislation and called the effort a starting point for future AI regulation. Former OpenAI employee Daniel Kokotajlo and academic Stuart Russell warned that without oversight, AI could cause severe infrastructure damage and even lead to a loss of human control.

Push for a global ban
Both bills call for the US and UK governments to work toward a global treaty that would prohibit the development of superintelligent AI worldwide. The proposals would also give governments new authority to monitor and restrict potential “precursor systems.”
Drafting support and warnings from researchers
ControlAI helped draft the legislation and said the move is a starting point for future AI regulation.
Former OpenAI employee Daniel Kokotajlo and scholar Stuart Russell warned that without regulation, AI could cause severe infrastructure damage and even lead to humans losing control.
