Odaily Planet Daily reports that Anthropic is at odds with major tech companies such as Google and OpenAI over a Massachusetts AI safety bill. The bill proposes requiring large AI developers to hire independent assessment agencies every four months to evaluate the potential catastrophic risks posed by their AI models. If passed, the proposal could set a new standard for state-level AI regulation in the United States.
As the U.S. Congress continues to delay progress on federal AI regulatory legislation, states are accelerating the implementation of their own rules. Anthropic’s recent divergence from other tech giants on AI safety regulation highlights ongoing industry disagreements over risk assessment and the intensity of oversight for AI models.
