Statement summary
Speaking at the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, D.C., Rep. Greg Casar, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said "No one can win the AI arms race" and that it is up to lawmakers and the public to end it. He urged lawmakers and the public to confront the potential dangers of advanced AI more candidly and to reject the argument that the United States must accelerate development or lose to China in reaching artificial general intelligence. The one-day event was organised by the Future of Life Institute.
“No one can win the AI arms race … It’s up to us to end the AI arms race.”
