AI BriefingUK Introduces First Bill to Ban Superintelligence AI
Key point
The UK Parliament has introduced the world's first bill banning the development of superintelligence AI, with a similar bill announced in the US Senate.
Details
The UK Parliament has introduced the bill banning the development of superintelligence AI for the first time among legislatures worldwide. This measure, submitted by MP Alex Sobel with the support of the ControlAI campaign, aims to address the risks of losing human control over superintelligence and potential extinction.
In the US, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar are set to announce a bill banning superintelligence AI, with ControlAI providing advisory input on its drafting. Additionally, Lord Clement-Jones has introduced an amendment in the UK House of Lords to implement an AI emergency kill switch for the government.
These legislative moves are seen as the result of ControlAI's activities, which included briefing approximately 400 legislators in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, amid growing concerns about the dangers of superintelligence AI and the recent resignation of an Anthropic researcher.
