Title context: AI company proactively seeks regulation! Anthropic submits draft AI regulation bill to US government, proposes "lethal red line" Text: Amid growing concerns over the potential risks of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence technology, Anthropic PBC has submitted its own draft bill to US lawmakers, proposing a regulatory framework for AI safety and security. According to Politico, which first reported the bill, the proposal suggests that if an AI model is determined to pose an imminent riskone that could cause more than 50 deaths or injuries, or result in losses exceeding $1 billionthe government could block the release of that model. Politico reported that such threats must stem from the model creating or releasing biological weapons, AI escaping human control, or cyberattacks. A company spokesperson said: "The bill represents the proposals outlined in Anthropic's 'Advanced AI Framework,' which we have been advocating to federal and state lawmakers since June." The spokesperson said the bill would mandate that AI developers test their models and disclose test results to the public; it would also require AI companies to allow independent evaluators to periodically review models. The spokesperson said: "Our proposal also gives the federal government the ability to block or deter dangerous deployment of the most powerful models. We believe these are reasonable policies that Congress should act on." The company declined to comment on the scope of its outreach for the proposal and the response received so far. In recent months, a series of intrusions and hacking incidents driven by AI models have intensified anxiety over the technology's potentially catastrophic risks, sparking calls for new safeguards from Washington to Silicon Valley, but so far, President Trump's administration has rejected calls for stronger regulation.
