Grok pegs economic cost of the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act at tens of trillions
robleclerc · x · 2026-09-24
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar have released the full text of the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act.
The author asked Grok to estimate the bill's economic impact and got a figure in the "tens of trillions" — calling it a self-inflicted weapon of mass destruction, ironic given Sanders's rhetoric about billionaires. Note this is a model-generated estimate, not rigorous economic analysis.
