Bernie Sanders Shows There’s a Big Problem With Trump Renaming AI to ‘Super Intelligence’
Bernie Sanders introduced legislation Wednesday to create a new Department of Artificial Intelligence and ban artificial superintelligence until AI can be regulated in a way to ensure it doesn’t destroy humanity. But the timing of Sanders’ new Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act is a bit awkward, if only because President Donald Trump wants to rename AI itself as “Super Intelligence.” “When you are racing towards a cliff, you don’t just ease up on the gas pedal. When the future of humanity is at stake, we cannot let a handful of Big Tech CEOs write their own rules,” Sen.
