Anthropic, the developer of Claude, has released policy recommendations calling for the government to take a more substantive role in addressing catastrophic risks from advanced AI systems. The company outlines four risk categories-biological, cyber, loss of control, and automated development-and proposes requirements for transparency, independent evaluations, and security measures.
Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI models, released policy recommendations on June 11 calling for government action on catastrophic risks from advanced AI. The company identifies four risk categories: biological risks from accelerated drug development that could enable biological weapons, cyber risks from critical software vulnerabilities threatening infrastructure, loss of control risks as AI systems become harder to manage, and automated development risks where AI designs more powerful AI.
Anthropic states that several state laws already require companies to explain safety measures publicly, but transparency alone is no longer sufficient. The company proposes requiring developers to publish regular risk reports, undergo evaluations by independent evaluators, protect development environments against internal and external threats, and establish channels to report distillation attacks that attempt to copy model behavior.
