Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has criticized a Republican proposal to ban state-level AI regulations for 10 years as "too blunt." In a New York Times op-ed, he argued that while consistent federal oversight is necessary, completely blocking state regulation could prevent flexible responses to emerging AI risks and stifle innovation. The proposal aims to prevent a patchwork of state laws, but critics worry it might overlook specific harms in areas like privacy and employment. Amodei, whose company created Claude 4, advocates for adaptive rules developed collaboratively between industry and all levels of government, reinforcing Anthropic's commitment to responsible AI development despite warning about AI's potential to eliminate many white-collar jobs.
