Senator Bernie Sanders has organized a bipartisan briefing next week to discuss the dangers of AI, focusing on pausing the development of new superintelligence. This initiative comes as international discussions on AI safety, including meetings between Trump and Xi, are set to take place.
“Yeah, and I want to ask you about that. So the public is, you know, kind of tuned in here, but what about our leaders in Washington? That's right.”
“The fact that it's bipartisan is telling because Bernie is not usually one to create bipartisan settings. And his approach is pausing the development of super intelligence, of new super intelligence.”
“And for that, I'm watching out for, you know, the Trump, Xi meetings that are happening at the end of this month where they are going to talk about AI safety.”
