Bernie Sanders introduces bill to ban 'superintelligence' with up to 20-year prison terms

Bernie Sanders proposes banning ‘superintelligence’ and putting violators in prison

Sen. Sanders and Rep. Casar introduced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, defining superintelligence as tech capable of destroying humanity or overthrowing the government. The bill also pauses development of advanced AI systems. Violators face up to 20 years in prison. The post doesn't spell out the compute or capability threshold for 'advanced AI systems' or how long the pause would last.
