Source: Anthropic: Policy on the AI ExponentialAlso reported by Cryptonomist

Anthropic published a proposal for how governments should handle catastrophic risks from the most powerful AI models: legal authority to block or deter dangerous deployments, civil penalties tied to global annual revenue that rise with repeat violations, and duties to test models, publish findings, submit to independent evaluation and keep strong security. The rules would cover models trained with more than 10^25 FLOPs from companies with over $500 million in AI revenue or over $1 billion in AI research spending.

Why it matters

Lawmakers drafting frontier AI bills have a concrete proposal from a leading developer for blocking powers and revenue-linked fines.
