Proposes to ban the development and deployment of artificial superintelligence systems.
The problem
Some policymakers worry that advanced artificial intelligence systems could become uncontrollable and pose risks to society if developed without sufficient safety measures and oversight.
The proposal
The bill would establish legal restrictions on creating and using artificial superintelligence, likely requiring regulatory approval and safety standards before such systems can be developed or deployed.
The impact
Technology companies, AI researchers, and startups would face restrictions on AI development. Government agencies and the public could be affected by limitations on AI capabilities and innovation.
A ban on superintelligence could prevent development of AI systems that researchers worry might be impossible to control or align with human values. This provides a safety-first approach to emerging technology.
The threat of regulation might push companies to invest more in AI safety and security measures. This could lead to better safeguards before powerful systems are created.
Limiting advanced AI could reduce job displacement risks from superintelligent automation. This protects employment across various industries from rapid technological disruption.
Government regulation ensures decisions about powerful AI aren't made by private companies alone. This gives citizens a voice through elected representatives on transformative technology.
A superintelligence ban could prevent beneficial breakthroughs in medicine, climate science, and other fields. The U.S. might fall behind other countries in AI research and development.
It's difficult to define and detect superintelligence, making the ban hard to enforce. Countries without such bans could still develop these systems, creating competitive disadvantages.
American companies and investors might move AI development overseas or shift resources to other countries with fewer restrictions. This could cost U.S. jobs and reduce economic leadership.
Without a clear official summary, it's unclear what exactly constitutes 'superintelligence' under this bill. Vague definitions could lead to unintended consequences or inconsistent application.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
