Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed a moratorium on AI data centers, citing the existential threat posed by artificial intelligence. Sanders, alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, introduced the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act in Congress, aiming to halt the development of AI infrastructure until safety measures are established. Sanders emphasized the potential dangers of AI, warning that humanity could lose control over the technology, leading to catastrophic consequences. He criticized the lack of significant action despite warnings from AI experts, including Elon Musk and Geoffrey Hinton, who have called for a pause in AI development. Sanders highlighted the need for international regulation to ensure AI benefits humanity rather than harms it.
