Phil Aroneanu counts at least nine newly elected Members of Congress who would consider pausing AI development, banning superintelligence, and/or implementing a data center moratorium, as the "Freeze AI" movement grows. His tracker shows 16 of 535 lawmakers committed to a pause or ban, 7 wanting brakes, 6 backing a data center moratorium, and 7 against slowing down. AI safety researcher David Krueger amplified the tool.
