Rep. Khanna to Introduce AI Safety Bill Banning Recursive Self-Improvement

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna is set to introduce the 'Human Control Over AI Act,' a bill that would ban recursively self-improving AI models until federal safeguards and agency approvals are in place. The legislation also proposes a new federal agency dedicated to regulating frontier AI models, including licensing and audit requirements, to address 'civilizational extinction risk.'
