Bernie Sanders is backing forthcoming legislation that would pause the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems, according to Decrypt. The proposal would also establish a federal regulator responsible for overseeing the sector. Companies or individuals that violate the proposed restrictions could face criminal penalties of up to 20 years in prison. The bill would represent a significant federal intervention in advanced AI development, placing a temporary halt and formal regulatory oversight at the center of its approach. Details supplied by Decrypt do not indicate when the pause would begin, how advanced AI would be defined, or which agency would receive regulatory authority. The proposal’s potential effects on technology companies and related markets will depend on its final language and whether it advances through the legislative process.
