On Wednesday, June 10, the same day it unveiled its latest and most powerful AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, frontier AI lab Anthropic published two policy frameworks calling for stronger government oversight of advanced AI and economic safeguards to protect workers from AI-driven disruption.
While Anthropic’s Advanced AI Framework covers safety regulation, its Economic Policy Framework raises issues pertaining to displacement, capital distribution, and overall social safety net in the AI era. In essence, Anthropic is seeking stricter rules for powerful AI and among the two frameworks, the one related to safety is more assertive.
Anthropic is also reportedly urging the US Congress to require mandatory safety testing for the most capable AI models and not preempt state AI laws without a robust federal framework. According to a Reuters report, it also called for stronger unemployment infrastructure to prepare for potential AI-driven job displacement and advocated independent safety evaluations.
The AI company wants the government to block or discourage the deployment of AI models that may pose significant risk of catastrophic harm. This would be accompanied by civil penalties linked to global annual revenue that surge with repeated violations.
