Anthropic's proposed AI safety bill only kicks in if 50 deaths or $1B in damages

Anthropic has drafted an AI safety bill that would activate only after a catastrophic event—specifically, 50 fatalities or $1 billion in damages. The proposal aims to hold AI developers accountable, but critics argue the threshold is too high and could delay necessary regulation. The bill reflects growing debate over how to enforce safety in rapidly evolving AI systems.
