Anthropic endorses California’s AI safety bill, SB 53


As Anthropic endorses SB 53, much of Silicon Valley and the federal government are pushing back on AI safety efforts.

On Monday, Anthropic announced an official endorsement of SB 53, a California bill from state Senator Scott Wiener that would impose first-in-the-nation transparency requirements on the world’s largest AI model developers. Bills regulating frontier AI model developers have faced significant pushback from both Silicon Valley and the Trump administration, which both argue that such efforts could limit America’s innovation in the race against China. Senator Wiener previously said that SB 53 was heavily influenced by an expert policy panel Governor Newsom convened — co-led by leading Stanford researcher and co-founder of World Labs, Fei-Fei Li — to advise California on how to regulate AI.
