OpenAI and Google Oppose Massachusetts AI Safety Rules Backed by Anthropic

OpenAI and Google have spoken out against proposed AI safety regulations in Massachusetts, which are backed by Anthropic. The rules, part of a broader debate on how to regulate advanced AI models, would require independent catastrophic-risk reviews. This stricter approach is supported by the state Senate, but OpenAI and Google prefer a more audit-focused framework similar to Illinois'.

The opposition from these two major players could introduce regulatory uncertainty for Anthropic, potentially impacting its valuation negatively. Market pricing suggests this might already be affecting its value. In contrast, Anthropic has demonstrated its commitment to comprehensive safety evaluations by backing the stricter rules.
