Sanders bill would ban superintelligent AI and pause advanced AI development
bittingthembits · x · 2026-09-12
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar announced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act: it would permanently ban developing and deploying superintelligent AI, temporarily pause advanced AI development until a federal regulator sets safety rules, and push international agreements to prevent superintelligence anywhere. The poster frames it as an argument for decentralizing intelligence (via $TAO), which colors the take but the legislative news itself is substantive.
