Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has voiced opposition to a proposed 10-year moratorium on state AI regulation, describing it as shortsighted and overly broad. In a New York Times opinion piece, Amodei argued that AI technology is progressing too rapidly for such a prolonged freeze, predicting transformative changes in as little as two years. The moratorium, if enacted, would prevent states from regulating AI for a decade, a measure opposed by a bipartisan group of state attorneys general. Instead, Amodei suggests a federal transparency standard requiring AI developers to disclose their testing policies and safety measures. He believes this approach would better balance the need for regulation with the swift advancement of AI technology, which he claims has the potential to significantly accelerate economic growth.
