Anthropic quietly pitches its own AI safety bill to lawmakers, Politico reports

What happened: Anthropic representatives pitched Capitol Hill lawmakers on a draft bill to regulate frontier AI safety and security, Politico reported, citing three people with knowledge of the efforts. Key numbers: Government could block a model only for foreseeable imminent risk of over $1 billion in damages or of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people. Why it matters: The bill would let Commerce seek a judge's order to halt a model, while barring other US departments or officers from suspending development, deployment, or internal use.
