Rep. Yassamin Ansari calls for advanced AI pause and superintelligence ban as Democrats' Day One priority
After Democrats flipped Congress, Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) said Wednesday that a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of what she called an "out of control" industry, and a permanent ban on artificial superintelligence should top the party's agenda on day one. Politico reports progressives including Ansari are pushing those measures as immediate priorities; she is a cosponsor of the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act with Rep. Greg Casar and Sen. Bernie Sanders, which remains in committee.
