Anthropic wants US states to regulate AI
anthropic is lobbying us states to pass ai regulations, arguing current laws are too weak to keep pace with rapid advancements.
as ai adoption expands, anthropic is lobbying us states to implement regulations beyond the transparency-focused safety bills passed in california and new york in 2025. cesar fernandez, the company's head of us state and local government relations, told wired that while last year's laws were a start, current policy is not keeping pace with the rapid improvement of ai systems. the push signals a shift where an ai lab is actively soliciting government intervention rather than reacting to it.
