Senate Democrats are trying to ‘codify’ Anthropic’s red lines on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance

Senate Democrats Adam Schiff and Elissa Slotkin are drafting bills to legislatively codify Anthropic's red lines, ensuring human oversight over autonomous weapons and prohibiting AI-driven mass surveillance of Americans. The moves follow the Trump administration's blacklisting of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk after the company refused to allow its AI models to be used for fully autonomous weapons, prompting Anthropic to file a lawsuit alleging constitutional violations.
