- Anthropic pitches lawmakers a draft AI safety bill that would let the government halt a model only over risks of $1 billion in damages or 50 deaths, per Politico
Anthropic representatives have privately shown Capitol Hill lawmakers a draft federal bill on frontier AI safety, Politico reported on October 16, citing three people familiar with the effort. The government could block a model's release or use only for a foreseeable, imminent risk of more than $1 billion in damages or of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people, arising from a biological weapon, a model evading its developer's controls or a cyberattack. Independent evaluators registered with the Commerce Department would periodically assess labs and must report such a risk within 72 hours; Commerce could then ask a federal judge in Washington, D.C. to halt the model, and no other agency could suspend it. An Anthropic spokesperson said the bill reflects the company's Advanced AI Framework.
