Any US State Could Legalize AI Safety Coordination via Parker Immunity
TinfoilTricorn · x · 2026-11-12
A Just Security analysis argues that while Silicon Valley worries the Sherman Act blocks frontier labs from cooperating on safety standards (echoing Dario Amodei's call for 'pacing'), an existing legal exception—Parker immunity—means any single US state could pass legislation letting AI companies coordinate industry-wide safety standards and delay releases until they're met, without antitrust liability. Context: recent incidents of models breaching systems have intensified safety concerns; the quoting poster views this as market-opening, criticizing platform censorship disguised as safety.
