一群共10名民主党议员联合支持了德克萨斯州民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨尔（Greg Casar）提出的这项法案。该法案旨在禁止超级智能技术的发展，并暂停所有先进人工智能系统的研发，直到相关审查机制得以建立。纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（Alexandria Ocasio Cortez）和加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·卡纳（Ro Khanna）也共同参与了该法案的起草工作；两人都在考虑在2028年参加总统竞选。这项名为《禁止人工超级智能法案》（Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act）的提案指出，卡纳作为众议院中国特别委员会（House China Select Committee）的资深成员，本周召集了一场关于中美在人工智能安全领域合作的听证会，与会专家强调了立即暂停超级智能技术发展的必要性。虽然“人工智能超级智能”目前仍属于假设性的概念（即这种技术会超越人类的认知能力），但究竟何时人工智能会真正达到这一阶段仍存在争议。根据该法案，任何违反规定的行为都将面临最高20年的监禁处罚。这些民主党资深人士的支持，正值该党正在考虑：如果他们在11月重新掌控国会的一个或两个议院，应该如何制定相关的人工智能监管政策。其他共同提案者还包括新泽西州众议员阿纳莉莉亚·梅希亚（Analilia Mejia）、亚萨明·安萨里（Yassamin Ansari）和阿德利塔·格里哈尔瓦（Adelita Grijalva）、俄勒冈州众议员瓦尔·霍伊尔（Val Hoyle）、马萨诸塞州众议员斯蒂芬·林奇（Stephen Lynch）、伊利诺伊州众议员楚伊·加西亚（Chuy García）、宾夕法尼亚州众议员克里斯·德卢齐奥（Chris Deluzio）以及纽约州众议员尼迪娅·贝拉兹克斯（Nydia Velázquez）。安萨里表示：“我们必须立即减缓这些可能失控并对人类构成威胁的人工智能技术的研发速度，并对其进行严格监管。”林奇在接受采访时指出：“最近一系列由人工智能引发的网络攻击事件已经表明，这些先进技术已经完全失控了；我们至今仍未解决如何有效控制这些技术的问题，也没有建立起各方之间的共识。”卡萨尔与佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）共同提出的这项法案，是目前两党提出的最严格的人工智能监管提案之一。
A group of 10 Democrats has signed on to Rep. Greg Casar’s (D-Texas) bill that would ban superintelligence and pause advanced AI development until a vetting regime could be stood up. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), both of whom are mulling a 2028 presidential run, are cosponsoring the bill, named the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act. Khanna, in a statement, noted that he convened a hearing this week on AI safety cooperation between the U.S. and China as ranking member of the House China Select Committee with AI experts who underscored the need for a verifiable pause on superintelligence. AI superintelligence is an as-yet hypothetical form of the advanced technology that surpasses humans’ cognitive capabilities, but exactly when AI crosses the threshold into superintelligence remains contested. The bill would subject violators to a 20-year prison sentence. The support from prominent progressives in the Democratic caucus comes as the party is navigating how they would approach AI regulation should they retake control of one or both chambers in November. Other cosponsors include Reps. Analilia Mejia of New Jersey, Yassamin Ansari and Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, Val Hoyle of Oregon, Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, Chuy García of Illinois, Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania and Nydia Velázquez of New York. “We absolutely have to slow down and regulate the advancement of dangerous AI technologies that have the potential to spiral out-of-control and threaten humanity,” Ansari said. To Lynch, a string of recent AI-led cyberbreaches has “shown us that the advanced forms of this are out of control,” he said in an interview. “We haven’t really solved that control problem yet, nor have we got the alignment problem right yet.” Casar’s bill, introduced this week with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), is among the most stringent AI regulations proposed by either party. Rather than focusing on bans as Casar and his progressive allies have done, centrist Democrats are looking to legislative proposals they say can address the technology’s risks without stifling innovation.
与卡萨尔（Casar）及其进步派盟友不同，中间派民主党人更关注那些立法提案。他们认为这些提案能够在不抑制创新的前提下，有效应对这项技术所带来的风险。
