Senator Bernie Sanders plans to introduce the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, seeking to prohibit AI systems that surpass human intelligence and temporarily pause other advanced AI research until safety rules are in place. UK MP Alex Sobel has introduced a House of Commons motion to ban “superintelligent AI,” defined as systems that could undermine state power. Both measures call for a global treaty banning superintelligent AI development and would give governments new powers to monitor and restrict potential precursor systems. ControlAI helped draft the legislation and described it as a starting point for future AI regulation. Former OpenAI employee Daniel Kokotajlo and scholar Stuart Russell warned that unregulated AI could cause severe infrastructure damage or loss of human control.
