AI overview

Anthropic is circulating a draft AI safety bill that would let courts halt model releases over foreseeable, imminent catastrophic risks, Politico reported. The proposal covers risks involving more than 50 deaths or over $1 billion in property damage arising from biological weapons, models evading developer controls, or cyberattacks. Registered independent evaluators would have 72 hours to notify the Commerce Department, which would then need to ask a judge in Washington, D.C., to halt a release. Federal agencies could not block a release on their own. An Anthropic spokesperson said the draft reflects proposals in the company’s Advanced AI Framework, which it has advocated for with federal and state lawmakers since June.
