Abdul Al-Sayed (D), a candidate for the Michigan Senate, introduced artificial intelligence as an "existential threat" on Tuesday and presented a framework for controlling this technology. Al-Sayed, who is in a close race with former Representative Mike Rogers (R), urged the government to halt the development of advanced artificial intelligence and to ban the use of superintelligent AI.
Risks of Artificial Intelligence
Al-Sayed stated, "We must seriously examine artificial intelligence and take proactive measures to ensure that this technology benefits humanity. AI can have very serious consequences, and we cannot ignore it. " He emphasized the need to seek solutions for controlling this technology and preventing its potential risks.

Al-Sayed's Proposals
In his proposal framework, Al-Sayed emphasized the need for strict regulations for the development of artificial intelligence. He called for the establishment of a committee composed of experts and specialists in the field to examine and determine safe and responsible practices for AI development. He also called for a complete halt to research and development in the area of superintelligent AI to prevent unintended consequences.
These statements from Al-Sayed come as concerns about the negative implications of artificial intelligence in society are increasing. Many experts believe that without proper control and oversight of these technologies, it could lead to serious crises.
Al-Sayed's competition with Rogers in Michigan is extremely close, and this issue could significantly impact the voting. With these statements, Al-Sayed aims to attract voters' attention and focus on a matter that is highly sensitive in society.
