Schiff Proposes Bill Codifying Anthropic's Redlines
Sen. Adam Schiff is drafting legislation to codify Anthropic’s red lines and ensure humans make final life-and-death decisions, while Sen. Elissa Slotkin introduced the AI Guardrails Act limiting the Defense Department’s use of AI for domestic mass surveillance. The effort follows the Trump administration’s decision this month to blacklist Anthropic as a supply-chain risk and Anthropic’s subsequent lawsuit; the bills aim to restrict autonomous weapon deployment and surveillance uses.
