Tensions over AI technology have reached a new high after violent attacks against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and a city council member. The incidents have raised concerns about whether the debate around the technology has become dangerous. Technology leaders in Washington, D.C., and Silicon Valley blamed anti-AI rhetoric for the violence, while AI opposition groups condemned the attacks. The violence is part of a growing divide over AI's impact on the workforce, economy, and regulation. Shannon Hiller, executive director of Princeton University’s Bridging Divides Initiative, said there is an increase in cases of harassment and threats around AI and data centers. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and leaders of several major labor unions have warned about the risks AI poses to workers due to its ability to replace jobs. A push to bar the Federal Reserve issuing a central digital currency (CBDC) has emerged as part of negotiations to renew the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act (FISA), which allows spy on foreigners located abroad. The anti-CBDC advocates are pushing for it to be included in the reauthorization of Section 702, which was stripped out of the final version of Proponents' Proponents view the anti-FISA bill as a standalone provision.
