Congress eyes new support for Cyber Command after recent suicide deaths

Congress is weighing new mental-health support and $11 million in training funding for U.S. Cyber Command after a cluster of personnel suicides.

Lawmakers view recent suicide deaths among U.S. Cyber Command personnel as an inflection point amid record operational tempo, including missions against Iran and Venezuela. Possible vehicles include the NDAA and the next funding bill; the House Appropriations Committee approved $11 million for the command's High Performance Team Training. A FY2024 NDAA-ordered study found resources for the Cyber Mission Force are inadequate and may jeopardize readiness, and Gen. Joshua Rudd has ordered weekly service-cyber check-ins on suicide-prevention efforts.

Bernie's AI bill proposes to sentence AI developers to 20 years in prison

Senator Bernie Sanders proposed AI legislation that would impose criminal penalties on AI developers, including sentences of up to 20 years in prison.

A Hacker News discussion (21 points, 4 comments) links to a tweet about Bernie Sanders' AI bill, which would establish criminal liability for AI developers, with potential 20-year prison sentences. The proposal targets individual developers rather than only companies. As a proposed bill, it has not been enacted, and the linked discussion is brief.
