Anthropic Pushes for AI Regulation: A Call to the U.S. Congress

Anthropic has urged the U.S. Congress to avoid obstructing state AI regulations unless a thorough federal law is established. The company also advocates for independent safety tests for powerful AI models as it prepares for a significant initial public offering, potentially influencing U.S. equity markets.

In a bold move, Anthropic has called on the U.S. Congress to refrain from hindering state-level AI regulation unless it passes comprehensive federal legislation addressing severe AI risks, the company stated on Wednesday.

Anthropic insists that Congress should demand AI firms conduct independent safety evaluations for their most advanced models, according to the statement issued.

The plea comes as Anthropic readies for a U.S. initial public offering, which promises to be a defining moment in the stock market, poised to influence benchmark indexes and reshape investor dynamics.
