Anthropic wants AI models blocked only if they threaten over $1 billion in damage or more than 50 deaths or serious injuries

Anthropic has circulated a confidential draft federal AI-safety bill that would let the U.S. government seek to block a frontier model’s release only when it could cause at least $1 billion in damage or kill or seriously injure 50 or more people. The specified risks would need to arise from a biological weapon’s creation or release, the model evading its developer’s controls, or a cyberattack. Politico obtained the draft, and an Anthropic spokesperson called its provisions “sensible policies” for Congress to enact. The proposal would require independent evaluators registered with the Commerce Department to periodically assess AI labs and their frontier models. Labs could pay those evaluators provided their independence was not affected. Evaluators finding qualifying risks would have to report them to Commerce within 72 hours of finishing an assessment. The Commerce Department would then present evidence to a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who would decide whether to halt the model’s release. No other federal department, agency, or office could suspend the model’s development, deployment, or internal use under the proposal. Anthropic said the bill reflects its Advanced AI Framework, which it has advocated with federal and state lawmakers since June. The draft’s language mirrors elements of California AI laws, including SB 5, according to Politico.
