Sen. Bernie Sanders has warned the heads of Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI to halt the development of artificial intelligence now or face the prospect of lawmakers doing it for them.
“Mr. [Sam] Altman, Mr. [Dario] Amodei and Mr. [Mark] Zuckerberg: In the interest of humanity, stand by your words. Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster,” Sanders (I-Vt.) demanded in a Monday letter first reported by Axios.
“Stop building machines that humans cannot control … If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will.”
Sanders, 84, a longtime skeptic of the nascent technology, cited past statements from each company promising to pump the brakes on AI development if their systems became too risky to safely control. All three have recently reported incidents of their models going rogue.
“At a moment when we have seen human loss of control and the creation of potentially dangerous viruses,” Sanders wrote, “your companies are still racing ahead — investing tens of billions of dollars into a technology that nobody can fully understand, predict or control.”
Earlier this year, Sanders called for the US to co-operate with China to rein in the “runaway train” of AI, which critics have warned would pose national security concerns and aid Beijing in the race to dominate the technology.
China has used AI to power a sprawling surveillance system to monitor its population. Many experts fear that if Beijing wins the AI race, it will get access to vast amounts of data on Western citizens.
Sanders has been particularly concerned about the risks that AI poses to jobs through automation and has pushed for a moratorium on the building of new data centers to enhance the top models.

Guess ole’ Bernie didn’t get in the AI stock market early enough.
Now tell me Bernie isn’t on China’s payroll.
What about China, Bernie?
I suggest Bernie call on his buddies to stop pushing communism, which is the second greatest threat to humanity after islam.
Doubt the Chinese are paying any attention to Bernie. Then again they may be paying him to spew his nonsense.
“Earlier this year, Sanders called for the US to co-operate with China”
Yep that’s the millionaire commie alright, WE must co-operate with THEM.....piss up a rope old man....and GTF out of our country.
If Bernie is against it, I’m for it.
man on a power trip
And Bernie Sanders has AI all figured out......
Bernie is the modern day Luddite!
Wait until he takes off his shoe and pounds the reporter with it!
Bernie is just looking for someone to buy him house number FOUR.
Which I do not blame him for wanting it IF he actually did something to EARN anyone of those first three houses. Then the fact that he is a hypocrite. Drives an Acura convertible. Rides in private jets to give speeches about how socialism is so great.
Other sayings I recall from the Cold War: “Better dead than Red.” or “Kill a Commie for Christ.”
I doubt Bernie actually knows what makes up this ‘AI’ he thinks he’s talking about. The man is an absolute menace to society.
first it was fewer underarm deodorant brands, now it’s less AI ... that’s the commie way: less everything, at least for the proletariat ...
“Stop building machines that humans cannot control …
Proof the left is scared AI will start presenting the truth to people.
What's His FR Nick? Who's his Chinese control?
