Anthropic quietly pitches its own AI safety bill to lawmakers, drawing fire over pace
sjgadler · x · 2026-10-17
Per Politico, Anthropic has been quietly pitching lawmakers an AI safety bill that closely mirrors the framework it proposed in June.
NY assemblyman Alex Bores pushed back: given recent developments like Hugging Face's open ecosystem and rogue AI swarms, a bill drafted in June is nowhere near keeping up with the speed of AI progress or what's needed to keep people safe. A notable case of an AI lab directly shaping regulatory text.
