U.S. Senator from Louisiana; sponsor of the AI Emergency Button Act.
Here is the risk: AI is supposed to be a tool that human beings have control of to make our lives better. But what happens if the AI model, through what’s called recursive self-improvement, which basically means it’s learning on its own, no longer becomes a tool; it becomes an independent species, separate and apart from human beings that we can’t control because it’s an independent species? And it doesn’t share our values. It doesn’t share human values.AI Verified (Sep 16, 2026)
