Who decides whether an artificial intelligence can be released to the public when a serious warning arises? Under the proposal Anthropic has discussed with lawmakers, the answer is not a single person.

First, an external monitor, overseen by the Department of Commerce, would assess the risk. If it detected an imminent threat of one of the specified kinds, it would have seventy-two hours to notify federal officials.

Those officials would then decide whether to bring the evidence before a judge. And the judge would decide whether the model could be released. There is no automatic veto: there are several steps and several decisions.

Also, this describes a legislative proposal, not a law that has already passed or a procedure currently in effect. The key question is who has the final say when a warning arrives before launch.
