Washington debates AI safety regulation amid competition concerns with China
A former Anthropic researcher's resignation warning that AI could destroy humanity prompted calls from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for an antitrust waiver allowing AI firms to coordinate on safety. DOJ official Stanley Woodward indicated cybersecurity coordination among AI firms does not appear anticompetitive, while members of Congress split along partisan lines on whether safety regulation would cede ground to China. Multiple outlets report on the broader scramble for AI governance frameworks, including third-party evaluation mechanisms and voluntary safety standards.
