Anthropic has proposed an AI safety bill that would only allow the U.S. government to block an AI model's release if it poses a risk of causing $1 billion in damages or resulting in over 50 deaths. This proposal would designate the Department of Commerce as the sole agency with the authority to halt a model's deployment, following an evaluation by an independent third party. The bill specifies that such risks must stem from potential bioweapon creation, AI-enabled cyberattacks, or loss of control over AI agents, with a 72-hour reporting window for evaluators to notify the department.
