Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ call for a ban on AI data centers. Buterin proposed a global 'pause button' to cut 90-99% of AI compute power for 1-2 years during emergencies. He backed 'defensive accelerationism'—pushing tech forward with safety in place. The idea ties into ongoing **global crypto policy** debates and reflects growing **AI + crypto news** discussions.
