Russell Wald, director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI, sounds off on'The Story.' A Massachusetts Democrat is calling on the U.S. to pass legislation that would keep artificial intelligence away from nuclear power. On Thursday, Sen. Edward Markey said, "78 years ago this weekend, Robert Oppenheimer witnessed the world's first nuclear weapons explosion. In 2023, we face a new kind of nuclear threat: the militarization of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems." "We must pass legislation to keep AI away from the nuclear button before it's too late," he asserted.

Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., spoke with Fox News Digital about his bill to establish a commission to address concerns about AI's rapid development. A GOP lawmaker leading on Congress' response to Big Tech is calling for a commission to streamline the U.S.'s development of artificial intelligence technology, warning that Congress is moving "too slow" on the rapidly advancing sector. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., teamed up with Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu and Anna Eshoo this week to introduce the National AI Commission Act, which calls for a panel of 20 experts across various facets of AI to convene and advise the U.S. government on the risks and opportunities associated with it. "I think that we should look at this bill very closely and move it very quickly," Buck told Fox News Digital.

Log Off Movement CEO Emma Lembke and teacher Matt Miles discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on kids on'The Story.' A group of three Democrats and one Republican have introduced a bill in the House aimed at preventing artificial intelligence systems from progressing to the point where they could autonomously launch a nuclear attack. The bipartisan lawmakers' measure would preemptively stymie any future Defense Department policy decisions that could lead to AI being capable of firing off nuclear weapons on its own. "While U.S. military use of AI can be appropriate for enhancing national security purposes, use of AI for deploying nuclear weapons without a human chain of command and control is reckless, dangerous, and should be prohibited," Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., said this week. "It is our job as Members of Congress to have responsible foresight when it comes to protecting future generations from potentially devastating consequences," said Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., who's been vocal on the dangers of allowing AI to keep rapidly developing unchecked.
