Hong Kong Activists Sentenced Up to Seven Years Amid Crackdown on Tiananmen Vigils

Senator Bernie Sanders revealed plans to introduce federal legislation banning the development of AI superintelligence that could surpass human control. The proposal also calls for a sovereign wealth fund where the U.S. government would acquire a 50% stake in AI firms to keep oversight in domestic hands. Sanders emphasized the need to balance innovation with safety, warning that unchecked AI could threaten humanity’s autonomy. The pitch requires bipartisan passage in Congress and a presidential signature to become law, placing it before a Republican‑led Senate and House. The senator’s remarks on BBC Newsnight highlight growing debate over AI ethics and governance worldwide.
