Anthropic : The case for targeted regulation

In this article:

The document discusses the need for targeted and proportionate regulation of powerful AI systems to address catastrophic risks, while supporting innovation in the AI industry.
It highlights the urgency of this issue, as AI capabilities have advanced rapidly in the past year, posing potential risks in domains like cybersecurity and CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) misuse.
The document outlines Anthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP) as a framework for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating these risks.
The key principles of the RSP are that it should be proportionate, with safety and security measures increasing in line with defined capability thresholds, and iterative, regularly reassessing the risks as AI systems advance.
