Rep. Ro Khanna plans to introduce legislation that would impose a ban on so-called "recursive" artificial intelligence technology until adequate safeguards are established, according to CNBC.
The bill joins a growing number of proposals in Congress as lawmakers consider how to regulate rapidly advancing AI systems.
Part of a broader legislative push
CNBC's report frames Khanna's proposal as one entry in a wider set of measures under consideration in Congress addressing AI regulation, though the report did not detail the specific mechanics of the proposed ban, what would qualify as "recursive" AI technology, or a timeline for introducing the bill.
The proposal reflects ongoing debate in Washington over how to balance continued development of AI technology with concerns about its potential risks, a discussion that has intensified as AI systems have taken on more autonomous and complex capabilities.
