en.Wedoany.com Reported - Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is calling on the U.S. Congress to enact strict nationwide AI laws, acknowledging that technological advancements could trigger a "major job disruption." On June 10, the company, which owns the Claude model, issued a statement urging federal lawmakers not to block states from regulating AI before establishing stringent federal laws aimed at addressing "catastrophic AI risks." The company also urged Congress to require AI firms to conduct independent safety tests on their most powerful models.

As it prepares for its initial public offering in the U.S., Anthropic aims to influence the direction of AI regulation. This IPO is seen as one of the most significant stock market debuts in years, potentially reshaping benchmark indices, investor capital flows, and the narrative of the U.S. stock market. The most controversial element of the statement is Anthropic's call for Congress and states to upgrade unemployment benefit payment technologies to address potential AI-driven layoffs. A survey by Ipsos/Reuters found that half of Americans fear AI advancements could lead to job losses for themselves or their families. Anthropic echoed this concern in its statement, warning that the technology used to pay unemployment benefits is "not yet fully prepared for a major shock to the labor market."
