Anthropic pushes for mandatory AI system safety audits in the US
Anthropic supports federal and state legislation requiring independent safety audits of AI systems, including the Massachusetts bill with a $561 million package. President Trump, by contrast, is betting on industry self-governance without strict regulation.
The proposed legislation (e.g., the Massachusetts bond bill) would introduce an obligation to disclose safety frameworks and undergo independent third-party audits for companies developing or deploying AI systems, which would increase compliance costs and risk-documentation requirements.
