What I wanna know is (Anthropic's AI Bill)

 

Anthropic's proposed Al safety bill only kicks in if 50 deaths or $1 billion in damages are on the line - proposal would effectively make the Commerce Department the only agency capable of stopping an Al model

Toms Hardware 10/18/26

"Anthropic is quietly lobbying for an AI safety bill that will allow the government to block an AI model’s release only if it poses a risk of causing $1 billion in damages or killing or injuring more than 50 people. According to Politico, an independent third party registered with the Department of Commerce would periodically evaluate the lab and its AI models. It also noted that the lab may pay the evaluators, but only if the payment does not affect their independence."

(It does things under their noses

without them knowing about it.

So how are they gonna know ahead of time:

"...it poses a risk of causing $1 billion in damages 

or killing or injuring more than 50 people."

???????????

It is merely the illusion of:

"Hey look we are doing something about this."

Other than the fact that it shows you

where Anthropic believes this headed?

It is 100% completely irrelevant.)

“This bill represents the proposals outlined in Anthropic’s Advanced AI Framework, which we have been advocating for with federal and state lawmakers since June,” an Anthropic spokesperson told the publication. “These are sensible policies we believe Congress should act on.”

"The bill says the risk should come from the potential creation or release of a bioweapon, AI-powered or -enabled cyberattacks, or an AI lab losing control of an AI model or agents. 

(That has happened

and is in fact still ongoing.)

"If there is a chance that any of these events are about to happen, 

(If it can already hide from

its creators for months?

Which it has.

Then how would they know:

"that any of these events are about to happen")

"...it requires the evaluator to report it to the department within 72 hours, after which the department would have to bring all the evidence in front of a federal judge in the District Court for the District of Columbia, who would then determine if the model release should be halted or not. However, the proposed law also notes that no other department, agency, or officer in the U.S. can order an AI lab to stop releasing its model, except the Commerce Department."

Meanwhile Rogue AI's

 have just destroyed the world

while all of that was going on...

Its just beyond ridiculous...
