Axios reported in an August 10 exclusive that Sen. Bernie Sanders called for a pause on AI development. The headline is the detail we can confirm; the article text was not available to us.
His call came before Anthropic's Dario Amodei proposed pacing advanced AI on September 12, and before the FTC opened its probe on September 30. Sanders sits on the opposite side of the political spectrum from Peter Thiel, who says regulation is a route to centralized control.
