U.S.
Senator Bernie Sanders called on President Trump to negotiate a treaty with
China's Xi Jinping at their upcoming AI summit, pausing advanced AI development
and banning artificial superintelligence forever.
He argued that recent pleas from AI leaders like Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman to merely slow progress fall short, drawing parallels to 1980s nuclear arms talks between Reagan and Gorbachev.
The proposal highlights concerns over AI self-improvement and loss of human control, amid an intensifying U.S.-China-Russia race that complicates any agreement.
