Source: Anthropic Policy

Anthropic released its comprehensive framework for government regulation of catastrophic AI risks, proposing:

Scope: Models trained with >10²⁵ FLOPs, from companies with >$500M AI revenue or >$1B AI R&D spend
Four risk categories: Biological, Cyber, Loss of Control, Automated R&D
Government authority: Legal power to block/deter dangerous deployments with civil penalties tied to global revenue
Requirements: Transparency, independent evaluation, security programs
State law protection: Opposes federal preemption unless federal law is at least as strong

The framework includes societal resilience recommendations for biology (gene synthesis screening, biosurveillance) and cyber (hardening critical infrastructure, legacy system replacement).
