Why it matters for readers: It matters because a major AI developer is proposing rules that would give courts power to stop dangerous AI systems.

  • Anthropic confirmed it is circulating a draft bill to U.S. lawmakers aimed at regulating artificial intelligence.1
  • The draft would allow blocking a model’s release or use if there is an imminent risk of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people or causing more than $1 billion in damages, but only with a judge’s approval.1
  • Anthropic’s proposal requires frontier developers to test the most powerful models, be transparent about findings, submit them to independent evaluation, and maintain a robust security program.1
  • A company spokesperson said the proposal grants the federal government the ability to block or deter dangerous deployments of the most powerful models.1
