Anthropic reportedly lobbying for 50-death threshold in AI shutdown rules
Original: 💀 Anthropic Secretly Lobbying Government to Only Shut Down an AI Model If It's Poised to Kill More Than 50 People https:
Anthropic is reported to be quietly lobbying the US government for a regulatory threshold under which an AI model would only be forcibly shut down if it poses a risk of killing more than 50 people. Critics say the proposal would let dangerous systems operate with minimal oversight, while supporters argue it targets only genuinely catastrophic risks.
Why now: The report raises concerns that a leading AI company is trying to weaken safety regulation, sparking debate about corporate influence over AI policy.
