Anthropic has expressed support for the government having the authority to block risky artificial intelligence models. This statement aligns with emerging proposals that advocate for federal veto power over high-risk AI as its capabilities rapidly advance. Similar to how the FAA regulates aviation safety standards, there are increasing calls for mandatory third-party testing of AI models before they can be deployed.

Anthropic: Anthropic is an artificial intelligence company developing large language models with an emphasis on safety and responsible scaling. Its CEO Dario Amodei recently argued in a policy essay that governments should gain legal authority to block or deter deployment of AI models that independent evaluations determine pose unacceptable catastrophic risks, including severe cybersecurity threats or enabling bioweapons.

Policy: Advocates compare proposed government oversight of risky AI to the FAA’s authority over aviation safety standards.
Regulation: Proposals for federal veto power over high-risk AI models are emerging as capabilities accelerate, with calls for mandatory third-party testing before deployment.
