Exclusive: Warren backs pause on AI
Axiosen
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is the latest prominent Democrat to back a pause on advanced artificial intelligence, her office told Axios exclusively. Why it matters: The idea of slowing down AI development — once considered a non-starter in a fierce race to beat China — is gaining momentum. Driving the news: Warren on Wednesday will call for a pause on advanced AI development but will stop short of calling for a ban on superintelligence, breaking with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). "We should immediately press pause on the development of advanced AI while lawmakers and regulators put systems in place to keep people safe," Warren will say ahead of a roundtable hosted by Sanders on Wednesday.
