Anthropic is urging US states to move faster on AI regulation, WIRED reports. The company previously endorsed major AI transparency laws in California and New York, but its head of US state and local policy says those measures may already be outdated.
The stance is notable because AI companies often resist state-level rules, warning that a patchwork of laws can be hard to follow. Anthropic is instead arguing that the pace of model development requires faster policy responses.
The debate will matter for developers and deployers: state rules could shape disclosure, safety testing, and accountability requirements before a comprehensive federal AI law appears.
