THE U.S. PROPOSES TO PUSH THE SUPER AI BAN: PERSONAL VIOLATION, 20 YEARS' IMPRISONMENT, DIRECT CORPORATE DISSOLUTION

ON 5 NOVEMBER, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD PROMOTE THE ANTI-AGENT SUPERINTELLIGENCE ACT, WHICH WOULD COMPLETELY BLOCK THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERAI AND EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT ANY INDIVIDUAL OR BUSINESS INSTITUTION FROM DEVELOPING AND DEPLOYING ARTIFICIAL SUPERINTELLIGENCE (ASI). ACCORDING TO THE DRAFT BILL, ASI IS A SYSTEM THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: AN AI FRAMEWORK THAT REACHES OR EXCEEDS HUMAN COGNITIVE EXPRESSION AND CAPACITY IN A WIDE RANGE OF FIELDS AND TASKS, OR SYSTEMS THAT CAN BE EASILY MODIFIED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT CAPACITY; AND AN AI SYSTEM THAT IS CAPABLE OF PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING A SYSTEM THAT WEAKENS HUMAN DOMINANCE AND EVEN OVERTHROWS OR DAMAGES THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. THE BILL REQUIRES A COMPLETE SUSPENSION OF ALL ADVANCED AI R & D PROCESSES UNTIL THE EXCLUSIVE REGULATORY BODIES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL ARE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND A CLEAR REGULATORY AND MODEL REVIEW MECHANISM IS IN PLACE. THE BILL PROPOSES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CABINET-LEVEL DEPARTMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, WITH A SPECIFIC MANDATE TO OVERSEE THE WHOLE LIFE CYCLE OF THE FRONT-LINE AI MODEL, WHICH WOULD ENFORCE THE ELIMINATION OF SYSTEM HIGH-RISK FUNCTIONS. THE OFFENDING ENTERPRISE WILL BE FORCIBLY DISSOLVED AND THE OFFENDING INDIVIDUAL WILL BE SENTENCED TO FEDERAL IMPRISONMENT FOR A MAXIMUM OF 20 YEARS, WHICH WOULD BE COMPARABLE TO THE SERIOUS OFFENCE OF ILLEGAL DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THE BILL ALSO INCLUDES A GLOBAL BAN ON SUPER-INTELLIGENCE AS A FOREIGN POLICY TARGET FOR THE UNITED STATES, AND ATTEMPTS TO BLOCK THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL SUPER-INTELLIGENCE ACROSS THE GLOBE THROUGH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS, COALITION COOPERATION AND EXPORT CONTROLS.
