[US and UK Lawmakers Propose Bill to 'Ban Development of AI Systems Surpassing Human Intelligence'] According to TIME, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders plans to introduce the 'Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act,' aiming to prohibit the development of AI systems surpassing human intelligence and to pause other advanced AI research until safety regulations are established. Similarly, UK Member of Parliament Alex Sobel has introduced the first bill in the G7 parliaments seeking to ban 'superintelligent AI,' defining it as systems that could potentially undermine national sovereignty. Both proposals call for the US and UK governments to promote a global treaty to ban the development of superintelligent AI worldwide and grant governments new powers to monitor and restrict potential 'predecessor systems.' ControlAI, which participated in drafting the legislation, described this initiative as the starting point for future AI regulation.
