Six proposals assembled by Times Opinion span bans, disclosure rules, incident probes, a new regulator, a China freeze and mandatory off switches to curb A.I. catastrophe risks.
More than 1,300 employees at A.I. companies have already called for government intervention, arguing the technology could spiral out of control and threaten humanity.
Trump said Saturday he would create an “A.I. Force,” but the article says he has continued to downplay A.I. risks while Washington remains largely paralyzed.
Named contributors include Bernie Sanders, Steve Case, Susan Rice, Helen Toner, Cass Sunstein and Brad Smith, bringing political, national-security and tech-industry perspectives to the policy debate.
