US senators weigh requiring AI giants to commit to preventing catastrophe – Ya Libnan

Summary
U.S. Senate negotiators are debating legislation that would require AI companies to demonstrate they are taking reasonable precautions to keep their tools from causing harm, according to a Senate aide and a lobbyist familiar with the talks. Alarm about the potential danger posed by AI grew last ‌week after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said he had resigned, in part because the “people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” AI-related stocks fell worldwide on Monday after leaders of some of the industry’s largest companies called for slowing the pace of the technology’s development. The senators are debating giving the U.S. commerce secretary the power to request proof that AI developers are taking reasonable steps to prevent harm, known as a “duty of care,” according to the Senate aide and lobbyist.
