He argues AI laws need anti-shredding provisions and links model statutory language requiring large frontier developers to retain — for at least 5 years without alteration or destruction — all policies, reports, documents and communications pertaining to catastrophic risk, critical safety incidents, related mitigation policies, and legal compliance.
