Jim McGovern on Slow down AI development

Jim McGovern

U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 2nd congressional district.

The craziest part of all of this is that tech CEOs agree that their companies need to slow down before AI spirals out of control. They are calling on this government to help them do it. [...] I think we need a national moratorium on these data centers. We need to immediately stop construction until Congress passes comprehensive legislation.
