Concerns over job losses and control

The two figures argue that advanced AI could remove tens of millions of jobs. They also warn about a loss of control over powerful systems and rising energy prices. Current government approaches are criticized for being too light on regulation.

Call for international agreement with China

Sanders urges President Trump to discuss pausing advanced AI development during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This proposal aligns with legislation seeking a permanent ban on artificial superintelligence and temporary pauses on other advanced models.

Need for new federal regulator

The proposed laws would establish a new federal AI regulator to manage these risks. Both politicians want international agreements to prevent biological warfare and concentrated power among a few giants.
