Anthropic circulated a draft regulatory bill among US lawmakers on Friday, proposing federal legislation to address AI risks. The bill would allow the government to block a model's release or use if it poses imminent risk of killing or injuring more than 50 people or causing over $1 billion in damages. Free Malaysia Today reported co-founder Jack Clark renewed calls for robust regulation, comparing unregulated AI to a race car without brakes. Transformer and other outlets criticized the proposal as weaker than existing legislative frameworks like the FRONTIER Act, undermining Anthropic's stated safety-first positioning. Ars Technica separately reported Anthropic granted an outside AI watchdog employee-like access to publish findings without approval.

Where they diverge

Outlets agree on the core fact—Anthropic proposed a draft bill—but diverge sharply on its merit. Transformer and commentary outlets (Don't Worry About the Vase, Zvi Mowshowitz) view it as inadequately protective, while Free Malaysia Today frames Anthropic's push for regulation positively. The Verge and MIT Technology Review covered parallel stories on AI agents and website access, which outlets treated as separate from the regulatory proposal.
