Anthropic Draft Bill Would Let Judge Halt AI Model Release

The draft would have Commerce ask a federal judge to halt a model's release when specified risks are identified. The threshold is a foreseeable, imminent risk that could put more than 50 people at risk of death or cause more than $1 billion in property damage. Meeting that threshold would make government intervention possible; it would not automatically halt a model. Covered risks include biological weapons, a model evading its developer's controls, or a cyberattack. Independent evaluators registered with the Commerce Department would assess models. AI developers could pay the evaluators, provided payment did not depend on their findings. An evaluator identifying a qualifying risk would notify Commerce within 72 hours. Commerce would then ask a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to halt the model's release.
