Bernie Sanders has written a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg urging them to immediately pause all AI development in the interest of humanity. And he warns if they do not take appropriate action now, the US Senate will.
Bernie Sanders demands OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta pause AI development over escalating safety concerns.
- "Let me be very clear: If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will."
- "That moment is here. AI capabilities HAVE reached a critical threshold."
- "Mr. Altman, Mr. Amodei and Mr. Zuckerberg: In the interest of humanity, stand by your words. Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster. Stop building machines that humans cannot control."
- "And yet, at a moment when we have seen human loss of control and the creation of potentially dangerous viruses, your companies are still racing ahead— investing tens of billions of dollars into a technology that nobody can fully understand, predict or control."
