Why Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei thinks a 10-year AI regulation freeze is dangerous

Dario Amodei, Chief Executive of AI firm Anthropic, has criticised a Republican proposal to halt state-level regulation of artificial intelligence for ten years, calling the measure "far too blunt" in a sharply worded opinion piece published inThe New York Times. The proposal, reportedly embedded within former President Donald Trump's revived tax cut bill, seeks to prevent individual US states from enforcing their own AI regulations. This move, backers say, is intended to create a unified national framework. However, it has faced significant pushback, including from a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general who have already enacted safeguards against high-risk AI use. You may be interested in Amodei, whose company is backed by Amazon, argued that the rapid pace of AI advancement demands a more agile and balanced approach. 'A 10-year moratorium is far too blunt an instrument. AI is advancing too head-spinningly fast,' he wrote. 'Without a clear plan for a federal response, a moratorium would give us the worst of both worlds — no ability for states to act, and no national policy as a backstop.' Instead, Amodei called for a coordinated effort between the White House and Congress to develop a federal transparency standard. Such a framework, he suggested, would compel AI developers to openly disclose their testing methods, risk mitigation strategies, and national security considerations prior to releasing advanced models. Anthropic already shares these details publicly, Amodei noted, and rivals OpenAI and Google DeepMind have adopted similar practices. However, he cautioned that voluntary transparency may not be sustainable as AI systems become more powerful and commercial stakes rise. 'Legislative incentives may become necessary to ensure this openness continues,' he said. Amodei's intervention adds weight to calls for a federal framework that preserves public safety while ensuring that innovation is not stifled, a balance that may prove increasingly difficult to strike as AI tools become more sophisticated and deeply embedded in daily life.

India Helping Auto Industry Meet Chinese Officials On Rare Earth Export Ban: Sources

Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. The Indian government is facilitating discussions between auto companies and China's commerce ministry due to China's export ban on rare earth magnets. India plans to develop its own magnet policy and domestic manufacturing, but it may take time. New Delhi: The Prime Minister's Office and the Indian embassy in China are helping Indian auto companies to hold a meeting with the Chinese commerce ministry in Beijing amid the neighbouring country's ban on export of rare earth magnets, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. China controls 90 per cent of the processing of such magnets, also used in industries such as clean energy and defence, apart from the automotive industry. India's three ministries - Heavy Industries, External Affairs, and Industry and Commerce - are involved in the discussions, people familiar with the matter said. A 50-member delegation of representatives from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), and Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) planned to visit China this week, but that did not work out. India is likely to consider having a proper rare earth magnet policy of its own to avoid the risk of getting caught in such a situation again, but that would take two-three years. There has been no import of rare earth magnets from China and no new licence has been issued since April 4, the day China announced its export ban. India is looking to develop domestic manufacturing capabilities and is considering offering production-based fiscal incentives to companies, news agency Reuters reported quoting two unnamed sources. The scheme, being drafted by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, also envisions partly funding the difference between the final price of the homegrown magnet and the cost of the Chinese imports. This would help achieve cost parity and boost local demand, Reuters reported, adding that funding for the scheme has yet to be decided, with the government likely to meet industry officials next week to finalise the details. The government company IREL (India) Ltd has been mining rare earth material for years, which are mainly used by atomic energy and defence units, with most supplies for other uses still imported from China. In Japan, Suzuki Motor has suspended production of its Swift car because of China's curbs.
