The chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus endorsed Rep. Yassamin Ansari's call for a day-one pause on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence, quoting her post with one word:
Yes!
Casar wrote the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act with Bernie Sanders in September, so the endorsement puts the incoming House's largest Democratic caucus chair behind making a pause the party's first priority. On election night he had said the new majority must protect Americans'
jobs, freedoms, and lives from AI billionaires
