Sharp disagreement has erupted over the US "Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act". MIRI founder Eliezer Yudkowsky endorses it, saying that as passed policy it would be an extraordinary improvement over the status quo and calling on both parties to defend against extinction risk. Critics like asglidden strongly disagree, arguing the bill builds a global surveillance state on arbitrary capability thresholds "conjured from science fantasy".
