华盛顿——佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯周二表示，人工智能给人类带来的潜在危险“可能比核武器构成的威胁更大”。
桑德斯是在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻政治记者凯特琳·休伊-伯恩斯采访时发表上述言论的，当时他即将在人工智能“亲人类大会”上发表演讲。桑德斯表示，他计划于下周提出一项立法，永久禁止超级人工智能——即比人类更聪明且能够脱离人类控制的人工智能。该法案还将暂停先进人工智能的开发。桑德斯提议，对违反该法案的行为处以20年监禁作为处罚。
“当你面对一种能够威胁人类未来的技术时，我们有望通过法律规定‘你不能违法’。如果你违反了威胁人类未来的法律，我认为规定相应的严厉处罚并无不妥，”桑德斯说道。
休伊-伯恩斯指出，这些处罚的刑期与被控非法研发核武器的刑期相同。桑德斯表示“这个类比是恰当的，完全恰当”。
“如果你想要研发能够威胁人类的核武器，你应该受到惩罚，”桑德斯说。“如果你推进可能威胁人类的人工智能研发，你也应该受到惩罚。”
休伊-伯恩斯询问桑德斯是否将这两者——人工智能和核武器——等同起来。
“不，我认为人工智能的潜在危险可能比核武器更大，”桑德斯回应道。
桑德斯一直是快速人工智能发展最直言不讳的反对者之一，不过最近几天，越来越多的共和党人也公开表达了担忧。此次“亲人类大会”邀请了共和党众议员奇普·罗伊、共和党参议员玛莎·布莱克本等坚定的保守派人士，以及民主党人士。众议院议长迈克·约翰逊表示，他认为自己与顶尖人工智能公司的领导人将“在下周内”在白宫与特朗普总统会面。
政界人士对这项技术的讨论升温，此前人工智能研究员雅各布·考克森公开辞去了开发人工智能应用程序Claude的Anthropic公司的职务，并表示尽管人工智能目前对人类使用是安全的，但随着该技术变得更加强大，有朝一日可能会威胁到人类。Anthropic的其他员工也认同他的担忧。周六，Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪呼吁前沿人工智能实验室放慢研发速度，这一呼吁很快得到了OpenAI首席执行官山姆·奥尔特曼和埃隆·马斯克的响应。
然而，特朗普总统对快速人工智能发展的担忧不屑一顾，称这些担忧是一个“骗局”，并表示只需要一位强大且有才智的总统就能解决问题。
桑德斯表示，他希望国会同事们能够理解当前局势的紧迫性。
“我希望他们明白，你必须倾听最了解这项技术的人，也就是研发这项技术的人，他们在告诉我们，我们正在失去对自己研发的技术的控制。我认为，当特朗普总统将此事称为骗局时，作为这个国家的领导人，持这种立场是愚蠢得令人尴尬的。你应该倾听最了解情况的人，并据此采取行动。”
但桑德斯表示，这些科技公司的首席执行官无法自我监管。
“听着，我们要明确一点——他们多年来一直在推进，只为尽可能多地赚钱，”他说。“他们做得非常成功。这些人都是地球上最富有的人。我认为，在一个民主社会中，政府必须进行强有力的干预。”
桑德斯表示，他自己确实会使用人工智能进行研究，并表示人工智能有一些好处。
“人工智能有其益处，”他说。“我认为它在医疗保健和其他领域有着非常积极的作用。我们的目标是确保全体人民都能享受到人工智能带来的好处，而不仅仅是让人工智能的开发只为地球上最富有的人的钱包服务。”

Bernie Sanders says the potential danger of AI is “probably greater” than nuclear weapons
September 15, 2026 / 3:14 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The potential danger artificial intelligence poses to humans is “probably greater” than the threat posed by nuclear weapons, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said Tuesday.
Sanders made the comments in an interview with CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns ahead of his speech at the Pro-Human Assembly conference on AI. Sanders said he plans to introduce legislation next week to permanently ban super intelligence, meaning AI smarter than humans and capable of escaping control. The bill would also pause advanced AI development. As a consequence for violations, Sanders is proposing 20 years in prison.
“Well, when you are dealing with a technology that can threaten the future of humanity and when you have laws hopefully that will be passed that say, ‘You know what, you can’t break the law.’ And if you do break a law which threatens the future of humanity, I don’t think it is wrong to say that there should be stiff penalties attached to that,” Sanders said.
Huey-Burns pointed out that those penalties are the same length as for those charged with illegal nuclear weapons development. Sanders said “the analogy is appropriate, exactly.”
“You want to develop a nuclear weapon that could threaten humanity, you should be punished,” Sanders said. “If you are moving forward on an AI development that could threaten humanity, you should be punished.”
Huey-Burns asked Sanders if he equates these two things — AI and nuclear weapons.
“No, I think AI, the potential danger of AI, is probably greater than nuclear weapons,” Sanders responded.
Sanders has been one of the most vocal opponents of rapid AI development, although in recent days, an increasing number of Republicans are speaking out, too. The Pro-Human Assembly featured staunch conservatives like Republican Rep. Chip Roy and Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, as well as Democrats. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he thinks he and top AI company leaders will meet with President Trump at the White House “within the next week.”
The uptick in politicians’ conversations about the technology comes after AI researcher Jacob Coxon publicly resigned from Anthropic, which makes the AI app Claude, and said that artificial intelligence, while safe for people to use now, could one day threaten humanity as the technology grows more powerful. Other Anthropic employees agreed with his concerns. On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in the frontier AI labs, which was quickly echoed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
President Trump, however, dismissed concerns about rapid AI development, calling them a “HOAX,” and said all that’s needed is a strong and intelligence president.
Sanders said he hopes his colleagues in Congress understand the urgency of the situation.
“I hope that they understand that you gotta listen to the people who know the most, the people who have developed this technology, the people who are telling us, we are losing control of the technology we developed. And I think when you have a president, Mr. Trump, who talks about this as a hoax, I think it is embarrassingly stupid for the leader of this country to hold that position. You listen to the people who know the most, and you act accordingly.”
But Sanders said these tech CEOs can’t regulate themselves.
“Look, let’s be clear — they are pushing forward and have pushed forward for years to make as much money as they can,” he said. “And they have done very well. These are all the wealthiest people on the planet. And I think in a democratic society you’re going to have to have government intervening very strongly.”
Sanders said he does use AI himself for research, and said it has some benefits.
“There are benefits to AI,” he said. “And I think there are very positive benefits for healthcare and other areas. The goal is to make sure that we gain the benefits of AI for all of our people. And not just allow AI to be developed to benefit the pocketbooks of the wealthiest people on earth.”
