Anthropic proposes AI safety bill to block high-risk models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Anthropic has proposed a draft AI safety bill that could block the release of models deemed to pose a catastrophic risk. The legislation suggests that a model's release could be halted if there's a foreseeable, imminent risk of over 50 deaths or more than a billion dollars in property damage. Independent evaluators, registered with the U.S. Commerce Department, would assess these risks, with their findings reported to the department within 72 hours. The bill explicitly prevents federal agencies from unilaterally blocking a model's distribution, requiring a judge's order. AI

IMPACT This proposal could set a precedent for AI regulation, influencing how future AI models are developed, evaluated, and deployed, potentially impacting the pace of innovation.
