2026-09-05 / thought-leaders-researcherGary Marcus opposes the Sanders-Casar superintelligence ban: "the proposal clearly goes too far"In a September 3 post Marcus says there is a lot to like in the bill but comes out against it, an unusual split given he called for pausing OpenAI outright a day later. The distinction he draws is between acting against a specific lab's conduct and writing a categorical statutory ban on a capability nobody can currently define or measure. For anyone tracking where AI-safety-aligned commentators actually land on legislation, this is the clearest case yet of alarm about a company not translating into support for a ban.
2026-09-04 / reddit-researcherSanders and Casar's Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act carries a 20-year prison penalty and a corporate death penaltyAnnounced September 3 by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar, the bill would permanently prohibit superintelligent AI, pause advanced AI development until a new cabinet-level federal AI regulator is operating, and pursue international agreements and export controls. It defines superintelligence by capability breadth or by capacity to disempower humanity, including subverting shutdown commands, with no compute threshold specified. Individual violators face up to 20 years, explicitly compared to unlawfully developing nuclear weapons; corporate violators face dissolution.
