According to POLITICO, Anthropic has been pitching U.S. lawmakers on an unpublished draft bill for frontier AI safety. The proposal would let the government seek restrictions on a model's release or use only if it poses a foreseeable and imminent risk of more than $1 billion in damages or at least 50 deaths or serious injuries, covering risks such as biological weapons, loss of developer control, or cyberattacks. The draft would also mandate regular independent evaluations of frontier models and place some state-level AI safety rules under a federal framework.
