Anthropic Calls for AI Disaster Risk Legislation, Announces $200 Million Labor Research Investment
On June 10, Anthropic unveiled two policy proposals aimed at addressing the labor market shocks and catastrophic risks posed by artificial intelligence. CEO Dario Amodei warned in a separate essay that AI could cause significantly greater disruptions to the labor market than previous technological innovations, with lasting effects. Anthropic urged that the government should have the legal authority to block or mitigate the deployment of AI models that pose deadly risks, advocating for regulations on par with those of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The company identified four categories of catastrophic risks: biological risks, cyber risks, loss of control risks, and automated R&D risks, specifying that the regulations should apply to companies with a computational capacity exceeding 10^25 FLOPS, or annual AI revenues over $500 million, or R&D expenditures exceeding $1 billion.
OpenAI Discovers Chinese-Linked Accounts Manipulating ChatGPT for Propaganda
OpenAI reported that it has detected and blocked two clusters of accounts linked to China that were using ChatGPT to conduct propaganda targeting U.S. AI policy and tariff debates.

The second campaign, 'Tech and Tariffs,' generated critical content suggesting that the Trump administration's tariff policies were a means to maintain technological hegemony. OpenAI noted that while the campaigns did not gain significant traction online, this marks the first confirmed instance of Chinese-linked entities intervening in the AI data center debate.
