Anthropic proposes AI regulation bill to US lawmakers

Anthropic, creator of the Claude assistant, is circulating a draft bill among US lawmakers to address risks posed by artificial intelligence. With a judge’s approval, the proposal would let Washington block a model’s release or use if it poses an imminent risk of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people, or causing over $1 billion in damages. It would also require developers of the most powerful models to test them, disclose findings, submit to independent evaluation, and maintain robust security programs. The bill could override some state laws; an Institute for Law & AI expert called it reasonable but weaker than the competing FRONTIER Act.
