前美国网络安全与基础设施安全局(CISA)执行董事布里吉特·宾警告称,中国正在迅速缩小与美国的AI差距,引发人们对其“反乌托邦”模型和 cyber-生物武器风险的担忧。她强调了美国科技创新和保护先进芯片技术以维持全球领导地位的重要性。

佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯与德克萨斯州民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨尔周四提出一项法案,拟对美国人工智能开发商实施“企业死刑”并处最高20年监禁。批评人士警告称,此举将让北京和莫斯科在全球AI军备竞赛中获得关键优势。

这项《禁止人工超智能法案》将暂时叫停先进AI研发,并成立一个内阁级联邦机构,负责监督销毁不合规的科技系统,将先进AI研发比作非法开发核武器。该法案明确针对能够达到或超越人类认知能力的系统, specifically禁止任何能够规避关机指令、实施未经授权的网络攻击或破坏美国政府的AI模型。

尽管进步派将该法案视为对“AI寡头”的紧急制衡,但专家警告称,对美国企业实施全面刑事处罚将严重削弱国内创新能力,而外国对手将得以不受限制地继续扩大其AI实力。

“如果美国停止发展先进AI,中国不太可能跟进。放弃在一项可能带来变革的技术领域的领先地位,将带来严重的经济和国家安全代价,”无党派顶尖科技创新政策智库信息技术与创新基金会(ITIF)主席丹尼尔·卡斯特罗在回应桑德斯的提案时表示。

“单方面永久禁止所有超人类AI研究范围过于宽泛,”曾就此事在美国参议院作证的AI专家加里·马库斯补充道。他补充说,这项拟议法案“肯定”会让美国在AI进步方面落后,称其“不是正确的做法”,尽管他表示该法案的某些方面“站得住脚”。

根据该法案的条款,拟议的刑事和企业处罚直接借鉴了现有管理非法开发核武器的联邦法规。

被发现试图规避联邦禁令的科技公司将面临“企业死刑”——这一前所未有的执法机制将剥夺企业在美国开展业务的合法权限。被认定违反规定的个人软件工程师、研究人员或高管最高可面临20年联邦监禁。

为执行该禁令,该法案将成立一个新的内阁级联邦AI机构,负责监控前沿AI系统。该机构将获得广泛权力干预科技运营,包括亲自监督移除危险代码,并监督物理销毁不合规的超智能硬件和基础设施。

该法案还明确了被禁系统的判定标准, specifically禁止任何能够规划或实施“剥夺人类权力”的AI模型。这包括能够推翻美国政府、实施未经授权的网络攻击或无视人类关机指令的软件。

然而,行业倡导者认为,诉诸极端刑事处罚忽视了科技基础设施和风险管理的现实情况。

“心血来潮式的决策永远不是好事,我认为这项提案本质上就是如此,”科技行业联盟“进步商会”的政策副主任亚当·希齐基亚斯表示。“AI是一款能够改善数百万人生活的强大工具,但随着对AI的怀疑情绪升温,企业有责任赢得公众信任,证明自己是负责任的邻居。这意味着透明的建设协议、自行配备发电设施,并确保符合环保标准。”

Sanders pushes ‘death penalty’ for crucial US industry that could give advantage to foreign adversaries

The proposed law would create a Cabinet-level agency authorized to physically destroy non-compliant tech systems

Bridget Bean, former CISA executive director, warns that China is rapidly closing the A.I. gap, raising concerns about its ‘dystopian’ models and cyber-biological weapon risks. She stresses the importance of U.S. innovation and protecting advanced chip technology to maintain global leadership.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, introduced legislation Thursday seeking to hit American artificial intelligence developers with a “corporate death penalty” and up to 20 years in prison— a move critics warn will hand a crucial edge in the global AI arms race to Beijing and Moscow.

The Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would temporarily halt advanced AI development and establish a Cabinet-level federal agency authorized to oversee the physical destruction of non-compliant tech systems, likening advanced AI creation to the unlawful development of nuclear weapons. The measure explicitly targets systems capable of matching or exceeding human cognitive performance—specifically outlawing any AI model that exhibits the capacity to subvert shutdown commands, execute unauthorized cyberattacks, or undermine the U.S. government.

But while progressives frame the measure as an urgent check on “AI oligarchs,” experts are warning that imposing sweeping criminal penalties on U.S. firms will severely handicap domestic innovation, while foreign adversaries will be able to continue expanding their capabilities unchecked.

“If the United States stops developing advanced AI, China is unlikely to follow. Surrendering the lead in a potentially transformative technology would carry serious economic and national security costs,” Daniel Castro, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a leading nonpartisan tech-innovation policy think tank, said in response to Sanders’ proposal.

“A permanent, unilateral ban on all research into superhuman AI is too broad,” added Gary Marcus, an AI expert who has testified on the matter before the U.S. Senate. He added that the proposed law was “a guarantee” the U.S. would be left behind when it comes to artificial intelligence advancements, describing it as “not the right approach,” even though he said there were some aspects of the proposed bill that were “defensible.”

Under the provisions of the legislation, the proposed criminal and corporate penalties are modeled directly after existing federal statutes governing the unlawful development of nuclear weapons.

Tech companies found attempting to circumvent the federal prohibition would face a “corporate death penalty”—an unprecedented enforcement mechanism that strips a firm’s legal authority to conduct business in the United States. Individual software engineers, researchers or executives found in violation could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

To enforce the ban, the legislation creates a new Cabinet-level federal AI agency tasked with monitoring frontier systems. The agency would be granted sweeping authority to intervene in tech operations, including physically supervising the removal of dangerous code and overseeing the physical destruction of non-compliant superintelligent hardware and infrastructure.

The bill also establishes criteria for what constitutes a banned system, specifically outlawing any AI model capable of planning or executing the “disempowerment of humanity.” That includes software that exhibits the capacity to overthrow the U.S. government, carry out unauthorized cyberattacks or ignore human shutdown commands.

Industry advocates, however, argue that resorting to extreme criminal sanctions ignores the practical realities of tech infrastructure and risk management.

“Knee-jerk policymaking is never a good thing, and I think that’s exactly what this proposal boils down to,” said Aden Hizkias, associate policy director at Chamber of Progress, a tech industry coalition. “AI is an incredible tool that can improve millions of lives, but as AI skepticism grows, it’s on companies to earn trust and prove they are good neighbors. That means transparent construction agreements, bringing their own power generation, and making sure they’re meeting environmental standards.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Sanders’ office for comment regarding concerns that the legislation would hand an AI edge to foreign adversaries like China and Russia, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
