Comment by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district; lead sponsor of the DEFIANCE Act
Congress has a moral obligation to stand with the American people and stop the expansion of these data centers until we have a framework to adequately address the existential harm AI poses to our society.

Verified via web search. Quote is from the official Sanders/Ocasio-Cortez announcement of the AI Data Center Moratorium Act on March 25, 2026. The Sanders.senate.gov URL returned 403 to WebFetch but multiple sources (Sherwood News, Al Jazeera, Congress.gov, PBS News) confirm the exact quote about Congress having a "moral obligation" and the "existential harm AI poses." Vote "for" the statement "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached" aligns well - AOC is co-sponsoring legislation that would halt AI data center expansion until federal AI safety legislation is enacted, which is essentially a moratorium-until-safety-consensus approach.
