Anthropic Opposes the Extreme AI Liability Bill That OpenAI Backed
""We are opposed to this bill. Good transparency legislation needs to ensure public safety and accountability for the companies developing this powerful technology, not provide a get-out-of-jail-free card against all liability," Cesar Fernandez, Anthropic's head of US state and local government relations, said in a statement."
""We know that Senator Cunningham cares deeply about AI safety and we look forward to working with him on changes that would instead pair transparency with real accountability for mitigating the most serious harms frontier AI systems could cause.""
Anthropic has publicly opposed Illinois bill SB 3444, which aims to protect AI labs from liability for significant harm caused by their technologies. The bill has sparked a conflict between Anthropic and OpenAI regarding AI regulation. Despite the bill's low chances of passing, it highlights growing political divisions as both companies increase their lobbying efforts. Anthropic is actively engaging with lawmakers to amend or eliminate the bill, advocating for transparency and accountability in AI development to ensure public safety.
