Congress Considers New Legislation to Regulate Artificial Intelligence Amid Warnings of Catastrophic Risks

Federal legislators in both the House and Senate are considering new legislation to establish guardrails for artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. This renewed focus follows a warning from a former AI researcher about the potential catastrophic risks of AI superintelligence, alleging that AI companies are 'gambling' with human lives. Senator Ted Cruz emphasized the need for bipartisan legislation to protect the nation and the world from these risks.
