Anthropic writes to California Governor Newsom: courts should be able to block AI models posing serious risks
In a letter dated October 15, Anthropic advised California Governor Gavin Newsom that the government should be able to seek a court injunction to block the release of an AI model posing a serious risk to the public, and that developers should build in an emergency shut-off switch. The advice followed Newsom's September move to convene an expert panel on AI safety requirements, with OpenAI submitting its own suggestions on October 20. It matters because a leading AI lab is itself asking for a legal backstop on risky releases, which could shape California's approach to AI safety rules.
