Sanders introduces bill to ban artificial superintelligence and pause AI

Senator Sanders has introduced a bill aimed at banning artificial superintelligence and pausing AI development. Simultaneously, Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) introduced House legislation to prohibit Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program beneficiaries from using food stamps at restaurants. While SNAP benefits are generally for groceries, a federal initiative currently allows hot meals at specific fast-food establishments, including McDonald’s. Both legislative proposals target distinct areas of federal regulation, focusing on emerging technology risks and the restriction of food assistance usage.
