Creates a new government department to pause and ban dangerous artificial intelligence systems.
This bill would create a new federal Department of Artificial Intelligence to protect the public from advanced AI. It would put a temporary stop to developing advanced AI systems and permanently ban artificial superintelligence, which experts warn could be catastrophic. AI developers and companies would face strict rules, monitoring, and severe penalties for violations.
Currently, there is no dedicated federal department or comprehensive law specifically banning artificial superintelligence or pausing advanced AI development. This bill would create a new Department of Artificial Intelligence. It would enforce a mandatory pause on advanced AI development, permanently ban artificial superintelligence, and establish a strict regulatory and monitoring system for all advanced AI systems.
