Anthropic Opposes the Extreme AI Liability Bill That OpenAI Backed

Anthropic publicly opposes SB 3444, an Illinois bill backed by OpenAI that would shield AI labs from liability for catastrophic harms like mass casualties or $1B+ property damage. Anthropic has actively lobbied state legislators to modify or reject the bill, arguing companies should remain accountable for foreseeable harms from frontier AI. The disagreement exposes growing regulatory divides between the two leading US AI companies.
