Anthropic CEO Takes Responsibility as Draft AI Legislation Draws Criticism

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei accepted responsibility for the company’s proposed federal AI safety legislation after criticism of its model-pause and state-preemption provisions. “I am of course the CEO, and I take responsibility,” Amodei wrote Oct. 20 in a reply to critic Nathan Calvin. Amodei said some actions Calvin criticized, including the draft legislation, could have been handled better. Anthropic federal affairs chief Anthony Cimino said Oct. 18 that the company had turned its June AI safety framework into draft legislation and shared it with a small number of congressional offices. Cimino said Anthropic planned to revise the language on preemption of state laws but gave no deadline. Anthropic has not published the draft text.
