Anthropic’s proposed AI safety bill only kicks in if 50 deaths or $1 billion in damages are on the line — proposal would effectively make the Commerce Department the only agency capable of stopping an AI model
- Anthropic is quietly lobbying for an AI safety bill that will allow the government to block an AI model’s release only if it poses a risk of causing $1 billion in damages or killing or injuring more than 50 people.
- According to Politico, an independent third party registered with the Department of Commerce would periodically evaluate the lab and its AI models.
- It also noted that the lab may pay the evaluators, but only if the payment does not affect their independence.
