Anthropic quietly pitches draft bill to limit how Washington halts dangerous AI models: Report

Anthropic executives have been privately circulating a confidential draft bill on Capitol Hill aimed at regulating frontier artificial intelligence (AI) safety. The proposal aims to set a high threshold for federal intervention, require independent assessments and allow only a federal judge to suspend a model, while overriding some state-level regulations. The move comes months after federal officials placed two of Anthropic's most advanced models under sweeping export controls during a series of phone calls, according to a Politico report. The action caused concern in Silicon Valley over arbitrary government intervention, and Anthropic is now seeking to shape federal rules governing its technology before Congress acts.
