China on the AI march: AI giants sound alarm
Bridget Bean, former CISA executive director, warns that China is rapidly closing the A.I. gap, raising concerns about its 'dystopian' models and cyber-biological weapon risks. She stresses the importance of U.S. innovation and protecting advanced chip technology to maintain global leadership.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, introduced legislation Thursday seeking to hit American artificial intelligence developers with a "corporate death penalty" and up to 20 years in prison— a move critics warn will hand a crucial edge in the global AI arms race to Beijing and Moscow.
The Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would temporarily halt advanced AI development and establish a Cabinet-level federal agency authorized to oversee the physical destruction of non-compliant tech systems, likening advanced AI creation to the unlawful development of nuclear weapons. The measure explicitly targets systems capable of matching or exceeding human cognitive performance—specifically outlawing any AI model that exhibits the capacity to subvert shutdown commands, execute unauthorized cyberattacks, or undermine the U.S. government.
